Does /pol/ support naming laws?

Chinese people do it with English names and I think it's a very respectful, if not simply convenient and beneficial, thing to do.

Name registers are authoritarian and in an ideal world would not need to exist but if the culture can't/wont protect itself then perhaps they are necessary.

But Chinese people do it because pronouncing non-Asian names is almost impossible to them.

People shouldn't be allowed to name their kid something stupid like Devil, TurboMoist or Retard. But other than that, it's up to the parent. The think that shits me is special snowflake spelling.

There should be no restriction at all. If some idiot wants to name their own kid Cunt they should be able to.

I'm opposed to anything that goes against free speech and the rights of the citizens. You should be able to name your kids whatever you want, no matter how offensive or retarded.
Giving total control of our lives to the state just to annoy shitskins is retarded.

If they're not named with French names, they shouldn't be considered French in the first place, so they wouldn't have to register their little ape to the authorities.
But that's in a perfect world, in reality arabic names are becoming more typical than western names.

What you said makes no sense in that context.

Sure, a lot of it is because English isn't tonal but it's also a good way to fit in with a different culture and language. My mother is half French and my father British, they gave me and all my siblings English names with French equivalents.

My brother is George, not Georges, and it is pronounced the English way. I think this should be the decision of any foreign born parent when naming their child if possible (or in the case of my mother, who has always lived in the UK, just a nice cultural nod).

Enforcing that through the state is a bit much, but picking explicitly foreign names for a child being raised in a country different from their parents is not is bad for assimilation.

Naming laws are stupid as fuck. We have them too in my country, I don't see the point. It's just personal preference.

>>132871616
Wut?

>>132871943
I understand, I for one am also opposed to such a law, in principle.
What your parents did is the more rational and smart choice, and works with most European names (especially between France and England, with names such as Charles, George, Eric etc which are pretty much Germanic/Nordic and are almost all spelled the same way). What really brothers me is seeing more or less westernized third generation immigrants naming their kids "Abdul", "Mohammed" and other Arabic names.
Whereas when forced to give a native name to the child, this same child will assimilate better and most of the time give native names to his own offspring without having been forced.

Also I really don't understand why muslims keep giving Arabic names to their kids. Islam isn't tied to the Arab world, and most of the frequent Islamic names are also featured in the Bible:
Ibrahim = Abraham
Yusuf = Joseph
And so on...
