Ella's nms, but it's a helluva lot better than Nutella!

[chibiyui]

Nutella?

[ashanne88]

For reals? Nutella?

The reasoning behind the court ruling is interesting. I wonder what would happen if another brand name was used that sounded more like an actual name. No examples come to mind though.

Oh, good. Now I'm hungry.

I know a dog named Nutella.

Seriously, I think people get very confused when naming children. Not the same as naming pets.

Perhaps they were hoping for a lifetime supply by marketing for them?

Mercedes is an actual name, but then the brand name comes from the actual name, so I'm not sure that counts. I can't think of anything else that wasn't an actual name before or the name of something unrelated to the brand.

That's a contract that should be ironed out before the kid is born.

I could never talk to that kid without craving actual Nutella. Ever.

I mean I love Nutella (the food), but seriously? As a name? Ella is cute (though I like it better as a NN) but it is worlds better than Nutella.

[jazzhands]
