What an awful headline for this story. She’s a journalist and presenter on the Australian show WTFAQ. As an investigation for the show she decided to put the restrictions on baby names to the test. Based on the rules she expected the name to be rejected, but it was permitted and a birth certificate was issued. In her journalist capacity she contacted the department of births, deaths and marriages and got a statement from them and they agreed that the issue was an oversight, and they offered to change the name. So in reality the exact opposite to “promoting government response” occurred.
Dr. Marijuana Pepsi might have something to say.
The best part:
Vandyck earned her Ph.D. from Cardinal Stritch University in 2019 with a dissertation on uncommon black names in the classroom
Why not go with a nice traditional name like Methany or Merimeth?
Because it’s a boy, silly. Obviously, his name would be Metthew or maybe Metthias.
