I'm changing my name to 'Brando!?'

Daily Dump has a funny post on names, more specifically, naming children and what can, and can't be done. I'm going to add punctuation now after reading it.

'Naturally, I got mad at Yahoo! for making the exclamation point part of their name. But then I got curious as to whether people were allowed to use punctuation when naming their children. Like if I wanted to name my daughter 'Sarah!' or 'Nicole.' or 'Amber?' would I be allowed to do that? So I tried to do some research on the subject, but man research is hard!

And all I could come up with is an excerpt from an article on adults applying for name changes in the courts: 'Racial slurs and 'fighting words' or obscenity are also banned, as are confusing names such as numbers and punctuation.'
