Name could have a 'negative impact' on the child, says court

FRANCE: A French court has told a family that they can not name their new born baby "Nutella" Metro reported. 

The court advised the parents in Valenciennes that naming their child after the brand Nutella could be 'against the child's interests'.

Born on September 24, 2014 a registrar highlighted the name to the town's court and had told the family that the baby had to be renamed.

Similarly, a second family from Raismes gave birth to a child who they named Fraise- translated to strawberry.
