I'm going to guess that the people that named their kid after a cartoon horse don't exhibit the strongest judgement and maturity.

Yeah the more I think about it, the more I realized "stupid name" and "parents waste money on stupid poo poo" is actually totally fine compared to what could happen after getting picked up by CPS  . Forget I said anything.

I'm sure it was sort of neglect. These are the kind of people who's card would get denied when making a $6 purchase.

It's not like CPS picks up kids on a whim. It must've been fairly serious.

And the kid might just get taken in by a family member. Saved my friend from a bad life.

You're not allowed to name your kid anything too dumb here http://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/news/article.cfm?c_id=6&objectid=11388092 e: Scratch that. I just read that again and the objection is for titles and symbols. You can specifically be called "Cream Bun" but not Major or Prince. Never mind.

We recorded our podcast's first episode about Secret Wars last night. It was a lot of fun and listening back to it it's actually a lot better than I thought it'd be. We recorded for three hours, though.

She would have been left with the perfectly respectable name, Rainicorn. Unrelated: I'm moving this weekend and I suddenly envy all you "digital only" motherfuckers.

It seems like an unnecessary level of interference. Being named Lady Rainicorn is a symptom of a much larger issue with her parents, and CPS didn't take the kid simply because the parents had poo poo taste in child names. Also, my last name is King, and Prince is one of the greatest living rock stars, so these restrictions on titles is clearly a dumb idea, and how many people are named Jesus or Muhammad?

It seems a little weird to restrict 'Lady' or 'Major' when millions of people are named after their respective religious messiahs.

Because they're still just names. If Islam or Christianity had turned those names into titles and instead of Pope, he was the Grand Jesus then they'd be banned too.

Parents should choose from pre-approved government mandated names, and then when they turn eighteen the kid chooses their own name without restraint.

Then Kyle got her a power ring somehow? Idk. I also believe there was some never-followed-up hints that her plant powers were increasing somehow. Anyway, BSS apparently found her promiscuous, such that they disapproved, and expressed such sentiment often.

It was weird though, I was reading the Wikipedia and Edge and Christian were two different posters? I guess they got merged in one of the Crisises. Golden Age BSS is weird.

The Golden Age started when I hit the scene, ends whenever I'm banned, and starts again when I come back.
