Idiots are the ones doing the naming, if they chose a name like "Light Breeze".

I do get the girl's point though. She thought that really was her name. I wouldn't like it if someone suddenly told me my name is not *CENSORED*.

But it's the parents' fault. They shouldn't have been defiant and should have given her a proper, legal name in the first place. In legal terms, "Light Breeze" is nothing more than a nickname.

I just think its up to them, it's of no concern to others really
