Secular Leftist Governments And Baby Names

From Conservapedia

Secular leftist governments are often authoritarian with strong central governments and they have many rules and regulations. In a number of countries in secular Europe there are rules for the naming of your children.

As far as the naming of children in countries with significantly high atheist/agnostic populations, several have various rules and regulations (China, Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, New Zealand, etc.), please see the article: 8 Countries With Fascinating Baby Naming Laws.

Naming your children after communist leaders of North Korea is forbidden is forbidden in North Korea[edit]

North Koreans cannot name their children Jong Un, and those who already share the name of the country's leader must change it. Similar directives prevented North Koreans from naming their children after Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un's father, and Kim Il Sung, the North Korean leader's grandfather.[1]

Atheism is part of the ideology of communism (see: Atheism and communism).

North Korea has state atheism and public religion is actively discouraged.[2]

National Public Radio reports about communist North Korea:

North Koreans cannot name their children Jong Un, and those who already share the name of the country's leader must change it. That's according to a directive from 2011 obtained recently by KBS, South Korea's state-run broadcast network.

It's unclear how many people the ban affects, but Kim is a common Korean last name, and both males and females can be named Jong Un. The North Korean directive was dated January 2011, the KBS report said.

Similar directives prevented North Koreans from naming their children after Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un's father, and Kim Il Sung, the North Korean leader's grandfather.[3]
