Because it's easy to pass a law regulating baby names than it is regulating who can be parents -- no politician is going to get a law saying "stupid people shouldn't breed" passed. They're people and not property. Kids are not "accessories," but that seems to be how many parents see them. Names from movies? Food? The stupidest names I've personally come across were the parents who named their twin boys "Zig" and "Zag." They thought it was "cute." I don't know what they think, now, but both boys go by their middle names.
