Can't Name Your Kid With A Dot Com In China
from the so-picky dept
Earlier this year, we noted that China had told a father he could not name his kid "@", mainly because there was no good way to pronounce it. Well, it appears that China really doesn't like people naming their kids after internet related things. Not only is the "@" out, but so is naming your kid with a .com. A father wanted to name his son Zhao.com, but the registry office has rejected the name. Perhaps he should have just gone straight to a domain registrar instead. Of course, here in the US we have no such restrictions, leading to things like kids named 2.0.
