New threat to families: Star Wars names

[Nobar King]

I was astonished to read today about how many sinners have chosen to abandon Christ by naming their child after a fictional evil sorcerer:

A lot of parents are naming their babies Kylo after the new bad guy in 'Star Wars'
Matt Pearce

Apparently parents think the Dark Side looks super fun.

The name Kylo — as in the “Star Wars” villain Kylo Ren — is now one of the top 1,000 most popular names for boys in the United States, according to new data on baby names released Friday by the federal Social Security Administration.

There were a total of 238 Social Security card applicants named Kylo born in 2016, making it the 901st most popular boy’s name for the year. It’s by far the boy’s name that has grown the fastest in popularity since 2015, when the year’s highest-grossing movie, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” introduced movie fans to Kylo Ren, who — spoiler alert — kills his dad with a lightsaber. Insert Freud joke here.

I don't really have a lot of hope so I expect this to get worse until a solution is found.

I do not believe that a new person should be given a name that will prove embarrassing in later years. My own brothers Alistair and Duncan and Rictus have between us fourteen children and none of them have strange names and none of them are named after Star Trek.

And I thought it was bad when that Game of Thrones (which isn't a game at all) came out and people started naming their children after those unGodly characters.Kylo indeed. Abomination! All babies carrying names from the "dark side" should be added to our annual witch hunt/potluck dinner celebration of Baby Jesus. To be burned with the other Godless sinning abominations of course.
