I don't consider that naming children in trendy/controversial ways is child abuse, but it is irresponsible parenting if knowingly done in a way that will cause backlash to the children. Doing it as a political statement is the height of irresponsibility.
It is more an indictment on societies that they can allow (or, worse, endorse) children being made to suffer because of how they are named. I know some families who immigrated to other countries, and ran afoul of local customs because their children's names happened to translate into something unpopular within the culture of their new country.
It may also say something about the children themselves, if they do suffer when given such names. It is quite popular these days to blame others for one's problems. An assertive child will probably cope quite well with an unusual name; a child who is allowed to view him/her self as a victim will probably do so regardless of his/her name.

Of course the best "revenge is a meal best served cold" is for the kids to turn round and put the parents in the worst possible nursing home they can find.
Maybe a few lawsuits for damages would slow the trend as well.

The U.S. Census Bureau statistics tell us that there are at least 88,799 different last names and 5,163 different first names in common use in the United States. Some names are more common than others.
There are 50,582 people named John Smith in the United States. There are 1,070 people named James Bond, 115 people named Harry Potter , 514 people named George Bush, and 32 people named Emily Dickinson. However, Johnny Cash (39 people) songs aside there are, statistically speaking, very few boys named Sue.
Naming your son Sue would definitely be child abuse
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
Isnt that an elvis or a jonny cash song or something? "boy named sue?"
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

If I google my real name pictures of nude women come up at the top (I think it's pinup or something).

army knife of the smart tech boy. But the hell is also there. So it's up
to you filter or just ignore those things.
you can't force someone not to upload nude pictures to the internet , who is other end of the world.what ever you can do is just ignore the
bad side and continue learning computer + linux + math.
Just ignore those things at first place. More than those little bad things think about how much good things are there. How many linux
opensource projects are there to gain the expertise ? how many electronic related sites , I learn the first principles of the electronics using the 100% the internet.
and they should also on the ethics not to put popup window scripts using those crazy XSS and Flash client holes , and web holes , banners can easily
hijack what's you'r online status. The bad is they popup even good ppl's
browser. They should have ethics. I can't say the site here publicallly. But that
is a Friend finder site and a famous dirty chat site that uses Flash technology. I telling these things here becos all the tech persons should know this. However they can't seduce me cos I'm 24 and have life experience and experienced. But what about the smart kids who come to the internet
who wants to learn C++ , linux math ? we should give them the chance to
use the internet and learn. Sorry someone hurts but it's wrong,
