Man Wanted To Name Son "@@@@" - Refused

<snip>

HONG KONG: A father has been refused permission to name his son @@@@.

The man from Zhengzhou, in Henan province, wanted to name his son after the computer keyboard character used in every e-address, arguing that the symbol was now in common usage and instantly recognisable.

However, the police station where names are registered refused to allow it, saying all names must by law be capable of being translated into Chinese, according to a report in the South China Morning Post.
