There is the famous story of the person who told Rav Chaim Kanievsky that his daughter’s name was “Shira”. Rav Chaim said that is not a name, and he must change it!

When asked where he got the name from, the father answered that she was born the week of Shabbos Shira, to which Rav Chaim answered “If she was born the week of Parshas Parah, would you call her Parah?”
