And before the context argument is mentioned, the two latter names sound far nicer and roll far more smoothly off the tongue imo. But hey, what do I know? Obviously people and judges think they know best and are so infallible in their beliefs that they think they can enforce them through law.

I presume you didn't know this because, obviously, you're coming down from a pretty strong acid trip and your mind is still figuring out the world. Once the acid finally wears off and you've have had a few hours kip you'll realise that all you're doing by naming your kid Nutella or Armani is preventing them from ever escaping the lumpenproletariat upbringing you're going to give them. Probably best to get them those pole dancing lessons at a young age as that's their only hope of escaping a lifetime of state benefits.

And that pole dancing lessons jibe is not even close to being funny, you misogynistic, sexist, pathetic excuse for a person. No surprise Ireland is always so slow to change and the laughing stock of the world. Not kids named Armani or Nutella.
