ROMANIAN authorities have refused to register a baby as "Binladen," the name its mother gave her baby son after repeatedly hearing it on television.
"I don't know who this bin Laden is, but I like the sound of it as a first name," said the gypsy mother, Andronica Stoica, 29, adding that: "I watch television a lot."
The city hall in the western city of Arad said it could not accept the name.
"We are trying to convince the mother not to give this name to the baby, by explaining that the child will be traumatised for life," said official Corina Oarsa.
"Imagine the suffering of a child with the name of such a terrorist."
If they fail to persuade the mother, authorities plan to appeal to gypsy community leaders to try to make her change the name.
As a last resort, authorities "are permitted by law to refuse to register a first name which is ridiculous or obscene, and that is what we will do," said Oarsa.
The young woman, who already has six children, has however said she will never agree to change the name because "it would bring bad luck".
