On Fox News, Dr. Keith Ablow explained that giving your child a
propaganda name is ipso facto abuse because it reduces the kid to an
expression of your own ego and dooms it to bullying, ridicule, a life
of misery, etc.  Frankly I agree. (Maybe it's OK for 17th C. Puritan
kids, however.)

An anchor then asked about less confrontational names like Moon Unit
Zappa and Moxie Crimefighter Jillette. Dr. Keith said those were  bad
too.

Should the state draw the line for mom & dad?  If so, where?

BONUS:

CNN says "Jahessye."  65,000 hits.

NYT says "Jhessye."     14,000 hits.
