I remember a case came up in Germany. A couple wanted to name their child Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. I can't find the story on Google because everything's about that "other" Osama bin Laden.

I used to get irked when I think about people naming their child "Jesus". If I were a devoutly religious person I would consider that name "retired", like a jersey number. Something too great to be repeated.
