The Japanese government has banned giving strange names to children in the country. Actually, many parents in Japan have now started giving strange and different names to their children, such as Nike, Pikachu or Pudding. Such names are called ‘Kirakira name’ in Japan, which means shiny or very different. Under the new rule, parents will no longer be able to give any name to their children, especially names whose pronunciation is difficult to understand. If the correct pronunciation of a name is not understood after reading it, then the officials can cancel it. Now the government wants people to keep such names which are easy to read and understand, so that there is no problem. The number of such strange names has increased in the last few years, so this step has been taken. Some people are saying that this new rule takes away the freedom of parents. They say that the children are theirs, so they should also have the right to name them. But many people are also in favor of this decision. They believe that due to strange names, children can be teased in school or there can be problems in government work. Also read this news related to international affairs….
