A interesting bit of trivia while we are discussing Canada. Did you know in Canada at least in the province of Quebec the government actually has the right to veto the name of a newborn child if they feel it is inappropriate. I actually had to prove this to someone, and its not only true as far as I know the law has not been changed, but the same law exists in many European countries.

I suppose it boils down to you win some you lose some. You can drink, gamble, and go to shows. That said you cannot name your child Ivory that sounds like a dish soap, and yes they did block that particular name.
