Names that could trigger offence to a practical person in New Zealand are banned. A judge had nine-year-old Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii renamed saying that her names makes her look like a fool. She was so ashamed of her name that she told everyone that her name was "K." Other names include 4Real (who was renamed Superman), Fish, Chips (Fish and Chips are twins, by the way), Twisty Poi, Yeah Detroit, and Sex Fruit. Although, names like Number 16 Bus Shelter, Cinderella Beauty Blossom, Midnight Chardonnay and Violence are allowed.
In Italy, a couple tried to name their child Venerdi, which means Friday, but after the judges didn't allow it, the couple wanted their next child to me Mercoledi, which means Wednesday.
In 1996, a Swedish couple aspired to dub their child Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (prounouced: "Albin") to oppose Sweden's strict naming laws. IKEA was banned, but Google was fine.
The moniker Chow Tow is banned in Malaysia. Know what it means? "Smelly Head."
Want to name your kids Tom, Nancy and Aaron in Portugal? Don't even think about it. It's banned. In fact, Portugal has an 80 page document with names that are allowed or unallowed. You can download it right here:
