This Here's a Story 'bout a Kid Named Hell

Hell NoWhat could a five year old do to get barred from Catholic school? Have a name like Max Hell. It isn't his stage name either (even though it sounds pretty cool). Max Hell is his birth name. His father is named Alex Hell. It is their family name.

In Melbourne, Australia a priest refused to enroll the little boy in  St. Peter the Apostle school because of his name.

The school said Max could enroll only if he used his mother's maiden name.

Sadly, his mother's maiden name wasn't Fuck Off. 

I say a guy with a name like Max Hell don't need no education. He can just form the youngest black metal band in Australia.

That would rule.

Ha!  That's hilarious but also sad that the poor kid is being denied admission for something he has no control over!  It's not like he's got a pentagram tattooed on his forehead.

It's his name, not his personal mantra.  That's ridiculous!

Odd, though, that the family has never altered it.  Seems like someone would have been bothered by it enough to take away a letter or something.  Oh wel.

Perhaps, in light of the priest's reaction, he should change it to "heil"...

"Hell" is the German word for "bright".

I made fun of this once before , and maybe it smacks of "branding" but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense: more and more parents today are reserving domain names for their kids at birth. And why not? We are in increasingly online
