Adios, Darling
January 19th, 2007 by The Brewmaster
A Colombian woman called Darling has been told she cannot become a Spanish citizen because of her jacked-up, stupid name.
Years of waiting to obtain Spanish citizenship for Darling Velez, 33, appeared to end with success a few months ago when her application was accepted, but she was shocked when the public registry rejected her name, El Mundo newspaper said on Friday.
Spanish law prohibits names which could expose a person to ridicule or do not clearly indicate gender. Without registering her name, Velez cannot become a citizen.
Partypants, ShamikaYoYo, and Rear Cabin Entry, you’re on notice. Do not even think about trying to become a Spanish citizen.
