In Sao Paulo, a baby boy is smiling, unaware that a court is deciding his fate. If it finds in his father’s favor, he is in all kinds of trouble. There may be a law in Brazil against giving your child a name that might cause him to be laughed at, but daddy wants to call his son Osama bin Laden. The same father, Osvaldo Oliveira Soares, has a habit of trying to use babies as political statements. Nine years ago, he was banned from naming a previous son Saddam Hussein.
Unlike Brazil, there is no law in Britain that restricts a parent’s right to name their child. "It’s not for the officials to say if someone has picked a name they don’t think is suitable," says Alison Cathcart, superintendent official at Westminster register office. "But if someone is from a different culture and wants to register a name that sounds like a swear word in English then we do advise them of that."
"Naming does matter," says Helen Petrie, a professor at the City University of London and a researcher looking into the psychology of naming. "We have fixed beliefs of what sort of people are behind certain names. There are studies of teachers in primary schools in the US that show they rate children with certain names as less capable."
"The name is the first thing we find out when we meet someone. If you call your child an unusual silly name like Fifi Trixibelle, as did Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, it can make life hard for you— especially if you want to be smart and are not in the least bit superficial."
There’s also the class factor. "Fifty years ago there was no cross-over of names between classes. Now everyone can buy Tatler and see the name Tarquin," says Petrie. "Until the 60s, Tracey was a fashionable Chelsea name. Now it has a terrible image fixed in people’s mind. I’ve interviewed some Traceys who find their name a huge burden. However high up they may be in their profession, people hear their name and think they’re the cleaner." [br] The Brazilian court may rule against Osvaldo Oliveira Soares if he______
