And I think that it’s still true that French people can give funky names like “Moon Unit” to their children.

i wonder if you can name a donkey Napoleon.

Where can this law be found? Seems to be an urban legend.

you think it’s an urban legend? i get the feeling you don’t know france very well!

@ptinfrance: No, but I’ve been trying for quite a while now to find any source for this law. Seems like there’s nothing behind it. If anyone can prove me wrong – you’re welcome.

it’s probably inside a dusty, crusty book in some forgotten archives. if i had the time and volition to find it i would, but alas…

note: there are actually weirder laws in france…

I bet you wouldn’t find it – as it seems to be non-existant…

It seems to me it’s a fake, even if it’s true, who register pig’s name and control the names?
This law is not even known in France, or may be known in rural aeras.

Salut, je pense que c’est faux paske c pas du tout connu en france

pigs are the most dirtiest animals ever

There is a movie called animal farm and they named the pig napoleon…that is why you can not name a pig napoleon.
