I think I would do it.... if I needed 10,000 so desperately and my odds were many.
It says it´s only for one year.... and it says it has to be the first name, so I could name him Turok "whatever" and call him "whatever". When the year is done I could just legally delete the "Turok" in his name. :animwink:

$10,000 is a fortune in some places
Everything is relative, I guess:
What’s in a Name?
Plenty, Says Honduras — and Legislates Against Odd Names
The Associated Press
T E G U C I G A L P A, Honduras, Oct. 5 — A bid to limit bizarre names for children, announced by Honduran authorities, may seem like much ado about nothing.
Unless you’re named Bujia (Spark Plug.) Or Llanta de Milagro (Miracle Tire.)
Both are legally registered first names that parents in this Central American nation have given children in recent years, and which Honduras’ National Electoral Tribunal feels are over the top.
The tribunal, which oversees the country’s public birth registry, announced Tuesday it will ask the country’s legislature to forbid parents from registering children under “extravagant or offensive” names, and allow children to sue parents who gave them “gross or insulting” names.
“Without doubt, such names are a bother to the people who have to carry them through life,” the tribunal said.
Motor, Meet Spark Plug
Particularly irksome are naming practices in Gracias a Dios — a province of eastern Honduras whose name translates as “Thank God.”
“It is common [there] for people to employ names usually used for automobile parts,” the tribunal said.
A young man there named Motor Martinez could meet a young lady — not a relative — named Bujia Martinez.
Also banned would be names of well-known personalities. According to electoral rolls, at least one Honduran bears the first name Bill Clinton, and another Ronald Reagan.

Ditto. And comparing to the names we have down here, like "portuguese-ish" version of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson and the like, Turok would really be a huge hit...

I agree, my brother's name is Alexander and I love Alexis...
And naming a child Turok is just wrong......

Well, personally I think Turok is a better name that Moon Unit or Dweezil!

A girl I know changed her newborn son's name to a radio DJ's name for tickets to a concert. The good thing about it was that the only condition was she had to keep the name for one week. They legally changed it and a week later changed it back. I thought it was a bit much just for concert tickets!:lol:
