A French couple have been barred from naming their baby Griezmann Mbappe after a five-month court process.
Last
November, an issue arose when the football supporting family attempted
to register their newborn under the World Cup winners’ names.
His parents have decided to call him Dany Noe instead.
A
local official who deemed that “Griezmann Mbappe” — after Atletico
Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann and Paris Saint-Germain’s Kylian Mbappe
— was “contrary to the child’s interest” referred the case to the
public prosecutor.
Other names to have run afoul of the law in France in recent years include “Jihad”.
Best
known in France as the term for an Islamic holy war, “jihad” can also
mean a personal and non-violent struggle against sin for Muslims.
