Doesn't serve a purpose? I think you'll find you're quite mistaken.

And the reason you want to disqualify him is because
A) He has a "popular" name and
B) Because it's controversial?

Allow me to retort.

A) If you want to disqualify "popular" names then you might as well disqualify everyone right now.
B) Controversy isn't a good enough reason, but, if we follow the logic of Proto that it is, how about instead you post a picture of yourself engaging in sexual intercourse with a howler monkey, and then proclaim that the first person to post a photo of themselves kissing the aforementioned disturbing image the winner? That'd be pretty darned controversial.
