In January 2013, a 15-year-old girl named "Blaer" won the right to keep her name, which she had been told by authorities wasn't feminine enough. In Iceland, baby names are supposed to fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules - choices like Carolina and Christa are not allowed because the letter "c" is not part of Iceland's alphabet. Malaysia tightened up its naming law in 2006 in order to prevent such atrocities as "Hitler," "smelly dog," and "007." Malays can't name their kids "Woti," which means "sexual intercourse," nor can they name their kids after animals, insects, fruits, vegetables, or colors. So there is no more "Akuma," meaning "devil," in case you were wondering. The Japanese also restrict names that might be deemed inappropriate. The purpose is to make sure all names can be easily read and written by the Japanese. In Japan, only official kanji may be used in babies' given names.
In Morocco, there is a list of approved names that appropriately reflect "Moroccan identity." You can name a baby "Sara" (Arabic version) but not "Sarah," (Hebrew version). Sweden has thwarted attempts by its citizens to name their kids "Superman," "Metallica," and the roll-off-your-tongue "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116." "Gesher," which is Hebrew for "bridge," came to her in a dream, she said. A woman actually wound up in jail for two days because she refused to change her child's name from "Gesher" to something else. Acceptable names include "Dits," "Fridvall," "Glisur," "Glasius," "Wrold," "Anond," "Raabi," and "Skagj." "Gesher," not so much. Norway's strict naming law dates from the 1800s, and is intended to protect children from names that sound or look strange, according to the AP. "Anus," "Monkey," and "Pluto" are not on it. "Nirvana," "Olaf," and "Kennedy" didn't make the cut.ĭenmark has a list of 7,000 pre-approved names. For a long time, only biblical or Christian names were allowed. Portugal has an 80-page document outlining which names are acceptable and which aren't. They have nixed "Stompie," and "Woodstock" as well as last names like "Kohl." "Osama bin Laden"? Not so much. An office of vital statistics, called the Standesamt, decides whether or not a name is OK. The name also must not be considered to have a negative impact on the child's well being. In Germany, you must be able to tell the gender of the child by the first name. All of the names on the list were at some point proposed by parents, soon to be rejected by the government, which deemed the names too offensive. The official list of rejected names in New Zealand includes "4Real," "Mafia No Fear" and "Anal." Other gems - like "." and "*" - didn't even bother with the alphabet.
And here are 10 more countries that find it necessary to call the shots when it comes to that fateful day:
