"Phuc Dat Bich" was a hoax, but it probably would be allowed in Australia. I'm surprised that Spanish names are not affected. Consider a woman who goes by the personal name of Maria Teresa, whose father's first surname was García and mother's first surname was Ramírez. Her name would therefore be Maria Teresa García Ramírez. If she marries Elí Arroyo López, then she might change her name to Maria Teresa García Ramírez de Arroyo. With six words, that would fall foul of Facebook's foul naming policy. http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ -- Steve -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
