Warning for disallowed word?

So I'm currently doing the 100 baby challenge. One of the kids aged up to a teen and I didn't like his hairstyle so I thought I'd edit it. Once I did and tried to save the change,I got the "A sim name,last name or description contains a disallowed word. You won't be able to upload this household to the gallery" notification. Their last name is Navarro and their first names are:Chetanzi,Mankato,Neyeli,Cheyenne,Tobey and Elu. Am I missing something (as English isn't my first language) or is this a glitch?

This drives me CRAZY. All of you are right in that it's just one letter off from a bad word, usually. Recently I tried to name a cat Bizness which was disallowed, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. I know they want to protect the community but this is way too stifling. Not sure why severely limiting our words was okay but allowing people to paint *anything* on animals was fine.

I mean, come on... Tobey? That's just wrong. These are real names here.

When everything is offensive, then nothing is. The censorship of the filter and the filter on this site is over the top. Many times I just say what anyone else would say and it gets filtered, and then shows the word plum as if I used a bad word. No, the filters are way too sensitive. We can say hell and other words but not some obscure word no one ever heard as bad, but just a common name of real people. If I were those people I would be offended they thought my name was offensive and demand it be included.

yeah and what about Julie Andew's co-star? Or Psycho/The Bird's director's last names? Or Simba's dad?

I don't think this has anything to do with PC culture. Maybe it did when the developers first thought of banning some words but this has surpassed that purpose by far. I support PC culture in the sense that everyone should be respected and treated equally.Anything beyond that is not PC,it's stupidity.
