Court Denies Couple the Right to Name Baby ‘Friday’
Ahh, Italy, land of fine wine, beautiful rolling countrysides, and adorable little towns nestled into cliffs on the Mediterranean Sea. But clearly NOT the land of anyone named “Friday”. A Roman court has denied a couple the right to name their baby “Friday” citing that it is the name of a “savage” in the book “Robinson Crusoe”. The judge over the preceding went on to say that a child named “Friday” could create “a sense of inferiority” and could fail to “guarantee the boy the necessary decorum.” The couple has decided to appeal the decision to Italy’s highest court.
