Authorities Ban Couple From Choosing Their Baby Name

A couple in Saint-Malo, France, has been banned from naming their newborn baby Hades after the ancient Greek god of the dead and king of the underworld. Kristina Desgres and Rodrigo Velasquez chose the name innocently, believing it to be "pretty," but the Saint-Malo public prosecutor refused to accept the name.

French authorities can veto a name if it is not in the child's best interest and demand that parents change it, and in this case, the public prosecutor deemed the name Hades inappropriate for a child. Despite the decision, the couple has hired a lawyer and is fighting to keep their baby's name, pointing out other parents who have successfully named their children Hades without any problems.
