So many people don't understand that children are people and people have rights. You are responsible for your children, you don't own them. If you don't like that, simply don't have kids.

    To the people downvoting this, you are the problem.

    Children are people, not your property. You owe your kids a loving, caring, and supportive environment because it was your choice to have them. They did not choose to be born, they did not choose you as parents, they do not owe you anything. If you treat them well, they will support you and love you. If they do not, then you did something wrong.

    If you think your children owe you anything, don't have kids and go see a therapist.

    I think they are downvoting because of the implication that having a not-cringy legal name is a legal right. In almost all places, it isn't. The general sentiment of the comment is correct - you shouldn't do stupid bullshit to your kids for your own amusement. But saying it is a "right" is incorrect in a very weird way.

    I do think its a right for people to not have stupid cringey names. Thats part of why you can legally change your name. Unfortunately, as far as I am aware, children are not granted that ability and are thus stuck with their shitty name their parent gave them.

    Do I think naming your child Jahckqylynn is child abuse? No, but should children be condemned to 18 years of living with that name because their parents are cringey and dumb? I also think no. Now naming your child Margarita Corona? Yes that is fucked up and borderline child abuse

    They can legally change their name before 18, in merkkka anyway. But yea its harder as a minor, and outside of last name changed for marriage its a lot of beaurocratic bs, ie time and money. I dont mean to counter your point, its a valid point. But for any Jackleneighs or whatever the fuck whod rather be Jackies, or Jackies whod rather be James, its possible sooner than 18. Again it be easier to wait tho...

    Well... I think that point could be argued. Both the EU charter and the German constitution say right at the start in article 1 that "Human dignity is inviolable". I'd say that giving your kid some dumbass name violates their dignity. So it is very much a legal right.
