The Rebbe introduced new rules that prohibited certain non-kosher animals from being kept in the household or on clothing, which is interesting as Jewish tradition allowed naming children after animals without such restrictions. While the Rebbe did not take action against non-Jewish names, this oxymoron of allowing an animal name but prohibiting the display of the animal itself is thought-provoking. It's possible that the Rebbe only fought battles he knew he could win, which could explain the focus on regulating the display of animals rather than on the names themselves.

Correct, I haven't thought of that.
