Should Quora ban users who are deliberately named after famous people?
Maybe just a warning is enough?Because there are people who don't like to give personal details on the net.I, for one, don't.It's unsafe I feel. Literally anyone on earth can access them!Initially, I refused to give my real name to Quora as well!I took the name of …. well …. Madhubala. Yes, I know it's wierd and now you better stop showing your teeth!I was edit banned on the very first day, for an hour! But, I was allowed to read articles. And a few articles later, I felt confident enough to give my real name.I still don't give my residential address, not even the city or state name!Should Quora ban me?I hope not!So please be a little considerate; there's a slight possibility that the person is just paranoid by some incident where terrorists hack one's account! Might sound silly but it's true; my entire family feels scared of such things.
Can the name of a famous deceased person be used in the name of an organization?
You must obtain permission from the deceased person's estate or successors or legal representatives in order to use the name for such a purpose. This principle applies in nearly all of the legal jurisdictions I know of worldwide. If granted, it would most probably be in the form of a licence and some form of payment.Updated minutes ago to add:If you're going to use the name of some long-ago historical figure (such as Julius Caesar Institute of Brutal Salads or Zarathustra School of Rocket Meditation), then most probably you won't need permission since their successors are unknown now.
Would it be legal to use a famous person's name (e.g., Obama) as the name for a company or brand?
The hard part is that you almost certainly wouldn't be able to trademark it. Otherwise, sure. We've got a restaurant called Bogart's in Seattle as an example.Be aware. Just because you can do it doesn't mean they won't sue, forcing you to prove your right. The risk-adverse would avoid this plan.Consider a lawyer for the consultation in brand name and trademark process. Most offer flat rate package deals if they work in this area of law frequently.

Can I use the names of famous musicians without violating trademark law?
Trademark infringement is the unauthorized use of a trademark or a substantially similar trademark on competing or related goods. For example, “Martha Stewart” is used as a trademark for clothing (among other products), and so you cannot legally market your own clothing line under the name “Martha Stewart” or a substantially similar name “Marta Stewert.” You can find which trademarks have been registered in the United States and the product categories for which they have been registered here: TESS.If you are not using someone’s name to market a competing good in a product category for which the name is trademarked, then you are not violating trademarked law; however, you may be infringing that person’s right of publicity, and that right of publicity may be protected by a celebrity’s estate for many decades after the celebrity’s death.This is something you really need to discuss with a lawyer, because details matter in these situations, and laws vary not only country to country, but in the United States, they can vary from state to state. It is well worth the expense of a lawyer to minimize the even great expense of a lawsuit. Do not rely on the legal opinions of strangers on the internet.
Are there any famous "Shields"?
I'm writing a comic and in it a character has access to a "mystical armory" in which he can summon forth famous, historical, and legendary weapons. Now the key here is the first weapon he can call upon is a sword and sheild; later revealed to be Excalibur and 'blank'. Are there any famous Shields? Legendary or other wise. Also the Hylian Sheild from the Legend of Zelda does not fit the theme of what i'm going for so that doesn't count.
Why is Trump’s use of the name Pocahontas, a famous and well regarded historical figure, considered shameful. If anything, does it show his stupidity?
Elizabeth Warren made fraudulent claims about her background in order to get a better job. Being a female and a racial minority is a huge competitive advantage in searching for faculty jobs. Many job ads explicitly state they are looking for women and underrepresented minorities. A candidate who can check off two affirmative action boxes is extremely compelling.How do we know she acting purposefully rather than she simply misunderstood? Immediately after reaching the pinnacle of academia, a law professorship at Harvard, she transformed back into being a white person. At that point, checking the “native american” box became a liability — law faculty at Harvard tend to have a high profile and someone would notice.Trump calling her on that lie should be perfectly in play. Calling her “Pocahontas” brings up a chapter of her past she’d as soon put behind her.Anyone claiming it is disrespectful to native americans may have a point: I wouldn’t want to be associated with Elizabeth Warren either.
Why are so many famous criminals called by three names -- Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, etc.?
Slate has a good overview here. In short, it seems to be coincidence; of the four assassins who have killed US Presidents, John Wilkes Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald are usually called with their full names, while Charles J. Guiteau and Leon Czolgosz are not.While in some cases the middle name may be used to avoid confusion with other people with the same name, both Booth and Oswald used their middle names before they became infamous for their crimes. The article further hypothesizes that "would-be assassins might embellish their own names to sound more grandiose... Or it could all be a kind of feedback loop: Modern villains want to emulate their role-models."In recent memory, middle names don't seem to commonly be used. As I recall:Jared Lee Loughner, who was sometimes referred to by three names and sometimes by two.James Eagan Holmes, who was usually called "James Holmes" in the news, at least the news that I read. His Wikipedia article probably uses the middle name for disambiguation.Adam Lanza, who apparently does have a middle name. I don't recall him ever being called with his full name.Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, for whom Wikipedia lists middle names, but they were not born in the US, so I don't know if the convention is different.This "phenomenon" is discussed in the film "Conspiracy Theory", where the distinction is made between serial killers, who, it is claimed, have only two names, and one-hit wonder assassins, who have three:Jerry: David Berkowitz, Ted Bundy, Richard Speck...Alice: What about them?Jerry: Serial killers. Serial killers only have two names. You ever notice that? But lone gunmen assassins, they always have three names. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, Mark David Chapman...Alice: John Hinckley. He shot Reagan. He only has two names.Jerry: Yeah, but he only just shot Reagan. Reagan didn't die. If Reagan had died, I'm pretty sure we probably would all know what John Hinckley's middle name was.Um, for nerd cred purposes, I just want everybody to know that I knew John Hinckley's middle name before reading that quote and I'm not sure where from. It's Warnock. You may applaud.
