Malaysian authorities have published a list of undesirable titles to prevent parents giving their children names such as Hitler, smelly dog or 007.

Such choices are not allowed, but there is a right of appeal.

The list came as a response to the growing number of Malaysians who are applying to change their birth names.

Malaysia’s National Registration Department made the decision after consulting with various religious bodies in the country.

They represented the country’s Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist communities.

Traditionally, some groups have given newborns inauspicious names to ward off demons and evil spirits.

Further restrictions

Now names like the Hokkien Chinese Ah Chwar, meaning snake, and Khiow Khoo, meaning hunchback, are being ruled out.

So too are Cantonese monikers Chow Tow, meaning smelly head, and Sor Chai, meaning insane.

Members of Malaysia’s Tamil community will be discouraged from using the likes of Karrupusamy (black god), and Malays from trying names like Woti, meaning sexual intercourse.

But the ban extends further.

Parents will not be able to call their babies after animals, insects, fruit, vegetables or colours.

Numbers are also not allowed, so little James Bonds cannot flaunt their 007 status on their ID cards.

Other restrictions stop parents giving children royal or honorary titles as names or calling their little ones after Japanese cars.

Yellow Robe, Rosebud was born and brought up in an educated family as a daughter of a nurse and an educator. Her father was a graduate of Carlisle, a Native american Boarding school designed to enculturate Indians to Anglo society by removing the trace of being an Indian. However, like many other graduate of the Carlisle, Chauncey Yellow Robe used the education he acquired to educate their people. His achievement put him as a representative of the North American Indians at the Congress of Nations. Under education of her father, Chauncey Yellow Robe she has became an activist for Native American, author and also an educator.

However, her commitment was recognize much earlier during he high school, when she performed American Indian dance for Strollers. She also had the honor to present the President Calvin Coolidge with full feather headdress when she was just 20 years old. 

Yellow Rosebud’s contributed her life for her culture and her give to the society of Native American was significant. 

Researching and study of Yellow Robe, Rosebud has helped me understand the culture of Native American and the struggle of the culture that has been going on for decades. 

through her story I found that she did not come from a rich and powerful family but nevertheless, being the great grand niece of Sitting Bull and Iron Plume and daughter of Chauncey Yellow Robe, is her family background has helped her realized the struggle of the culture of Native American.
