    I'd like the name @ and it is pretty cute as ai ta. And as far as symbols go it a lot better then %&#$!

    Also with the name @ you'd always be channel operator

    I find it quite amusing. The child can change his own name if he wants anyway.

    People nowadays... But I heard Japanese people name their children names like "cat" or something just so it stands out. I think its not unique, its idiotic...

    there is no limit to the stupidity of some people. but i guess this is just a case of...oddness. But i wonder, who is to decide whether someone can have a certain name or not?

    I'd pity the kid.
    With a name like that, it'll surely be teased. :s

    It's an unique name for sure, but however, it's abnormal to have a name without any letters. It's also banned in China to use Arabic numerals, foreign languages and symbols for names.

    Naming a baby @ may bring attention that would prefer to be avoided, but I don't think it's going to screw your life just because you are named @. As a kid, it might bring negative attention from being teased, and that could be traumatic. But when you are an adult, an unusual name might help you stand out in the crowd. A person shouldn't be defined by what he/she is named.
