A woman from Wales cannot name her baby daughter Cyanide, a British court ruled Thursday.

The woman, whose name cannot be published for legal reasons, has infant twins and wants to name her son Preacher and her daughter Cyanide, saying the poison is a "lovely, pretty name" with positive associations because it helped kill Nazi leader Adolf Hitler…

Maybe she should have tried Arsenicia?

Belladonna

Hyacinth

The court's not doing anything to protect the boy?

Digitalis from the foxglove is but I didn't include it as it wouldn't be a "typical" female name where my list very well all could be / are.

Oleander and Aconite/Monks Hood/Wolfbane are also easily grown, but I didn't include them for the same reason I left off foxglove.

Jpattern. Don't be stupid – Cyan is obviously the male form!

Joke from my son related point

"Hitler was the worst person in the world. So surely the person who KILLED Hitler would be the best person in the world. So Hitler comes out of it even."

If you named your kid Arsenic, what would the other kids call her on the playground as a shortened nickname?

I'm told Delco (as in AC Delco the auto part company) was popular in certain places about 20 years ago…
