Shows something very different to the mentality in Portugal. As far as I can tell, in the US, you can choose any name you like as long as it's not on a short list of words such as Motherfucker and Cunt, whereas in Portugal the supposition is the other way round, you literally have to choose your child's name from a short list of accepted names; Joao, Tiago, Pedro, Sergio, Luis... er that's about it if it's a boy I think. Some people deliberately go abroad (to Spain) so they can pick a more interesting name.
