Alternatively, should children be allowed to change their names to one in a restricted list anytime before 18, then to anything after 18?

    Using a password generator to name your kid should be treated as child neglect. Just saying.

    regardless of if it should be legal or not, anything restricting names is going to run pretty hard up against first amendment rights.

        There’s also significant precedent saying children don’t have the mental awareness to make those kinds of decisions and therefore removing it to… the parents.

        sorry, but getting that done, whether or not it’s right or wrong, is basically impossible. you would be overturning a couple centuries of precedent.
