A mother from Powys, Wales, has attempted to give her newborn twins one of craziest names on the planet. The mother attempted to name her twins "Cyanide" and "Preacher."
The mother said she believed "Cyanide" was a pretty name for a little girl. She also believes that it has positive implications because it's the poison that killed both Hitler and his follower Joseph Goebbels. She also argued that she had the right to name her own children whatever she wanted.
While Justice King acknowledged that "Preacher" wasn't as bad a name as Cyanide, he ruled that the name 'Cyanide' could cause emotional harm to the child in future.
King said:
"It is hard to see how...the twin girl could regard being named after this deadly poison as a complete rejection of her by her birth mother."The twins, who are now 8 months old, were reportedly conceived of rape. They were placed in foster care, along with their three half-siblings, due to the mother's history of mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse.
Social workers from Powys County Council took the case to the British Appeal Court. An injunction had previously been issued to prevent the mother from formally registering the names.
