North Korea has instructed parents to assign patriotic names to their children such as "bomb", "gun" and "satellite" as Pyongyang cracks down on the use of names the government deems too soft.
Previously, the communist government allowed citizens to use names more affectionate names such as A Ri (loved one) and Su Mi (super beauty), similar to South Korea.
But now the government has ordered that people with these types of names have them changed to more patriotic and ideological monikers.
