One reason why you may copyright someone's name

You can copyright a name so you can press civil charges against someone that uses a name for personal benefit without permission. One scammer, Ryan Zull, collected donations for memorials (in his front yard) for personal profit. She was able to press charges against him for using the name of her son without permission after copyrighting her son's name.

The picture she painted was less friendly than the one presented in the article. She believes he grabbed a few names and pictures of servicemen killed in action and asked people to donate
