The site doesn't necessarily tell you they won't ax it for other reasons like inappropriateness, bad taste, corporate ownership, etc because that part's somewhat subjective, but it'll help. I heard they put a stop to Sally Hemmings (named after the slave of Thomas Jefferson) for bad taste, but they apparently find Bodacious Tatas and Isitingood to be acceptable. I don't pretend to understand the logic. If you go to the main JC registration site, you can see a list of recently released names that are totally up for grabs. Not all of them are gems.
I'm really glad you liked my names

I am definitely going to use this website as well.
