Mum Banned From Naming Daughter 'Cyanide'

A mother in Wales has been banned from naming her baby daughter, Cyanide.

According to reports, the woman, who is from Powys, also wanted to name the girl's twin brother Preacher.

She claimed that she had a human right to name her own children, but the Court of Appeal ruled that the "unusual" choices might harm the children.

The court was told the mother had a history of mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse. The twins, as well as the mother's other children, have been taken from her care.

It is understood council social workers in Powys took the case to court when they discovered the names the woman had chosen for the two children. Then, in June, a judge issued an injunction against the mother, forbidding her from formally registering the twins' forenames.

Lawyers for the woman appealed the decision, but Lady Justice King said naming a little girl after a "notorious poison" was unacceptable.

She ruled that the twins should be named by their older half-siblings.
