Sometimes babies are given names that are outright cruel. This happens to be one of them. The baby was named Saviour God-Scientific Allah. Who the hell names their kid Saviour God-Scientific Allah?! I'm sorry, but if you cannot prove that there is some existing or former culture where a name for a child came from, you shouldn't be able to name your kid that. Parents have no right to make up blatantly bullshit names for their kids like this. It's bad enough that some people name their kids Nyquil, Tomato, Cappuccino or Apple, but Saviour God-Scientific Allah is just beyond the pale.

It is a name guaranteed to change, likely to be replaced by a prison gang nick-name.
Well, probably fortunately for the kid, he fell out of a window and plummetted to his death as a sixteen month old toddler. Probably spared him a life of unending cruelty for the first eighteen years until he could legally change his name without his parents permission.
The kid probably sensed that he had a horrible name and simply off'd himself.
What a powerful way to censure someone. You hate your name so much that you just jump off a build to your imminent death to spite them for giving you such a bad name.
No problem.
I'm from Ohio and have never heard this story before, so I thank you for sharing this as I have just read it aloud to my entire senior composition class and gave them all, including myself, a pretty good laugh.
Hey now. I agree that the name was cruel and inhuman punishment. But...
Where would Adam and Eve have gotten names from, if they weren't allowed to go outside the box, as it were?
Also, look at some of the names kids got in the Bible. Read the children of Hosea the prophet especially. Talk about names that would mar you for life!
Heh. My point, Roland, is that today we have enough fodder for names that parents have no excuse to make up these stupid names. It's outright cruel to name your kid something like Saviour God-Scientific Allah. That name is more about the parents need to be special than about the kid's life. A lot more. It's a cruel form of narcissism.
