I disagree with what Senoufou posted above: "...but it's their infant, and if they want to call it Montmorency Coughdrop that's their prerogative." A child is its own person, it's not anybody's possession, not even its parents. Every child deserves an honest, intelligent name, not a name which says "my parents don't respect me." Just because something is legal doesn't guarantee that it's a decent thing to do. Fortuately society is more powerful than any pair of fools, and Montmorency Coughdrop will soon be altered to Monte.
