| Court Battle Over Baby's Name | ||
| BERLIN, July 23 (Reuters) The Kepurra family from the eastern German town of Oranienburg have been battling officials for a year over their choice of name. Jona, a common girl's name in Israel, is cited in reference books as a version of the biblical name Jonah, the male character who spent three days and three nights in the belly of a whale. But registry office authorities in Germany insist it is a boy's name and have asked that a recent court decision allowing the Kepurras to use the name for their daughter be re-examined. | Officials said the baby would remain nameless until the court decision.
The legal wrangling in Germany contrasts sharply with the relaxed approach to names in many other countries.
