Why do some countries regulate baby names?
Parents-to-be often find it hard enough to find a name they both like. Finding one the state might also be in favour of is still harder. Bjork Eidsdottir had no idea when, in naming her newborn girl Blaer 15 years ago, she was breaking the law. In the eyes of the authorities Blaer, which means “light breeze”, was a male name and, therefore, not approved. It meant that, for her entire childhood, Blaer was known simply as “Girl” on official documents. But finally, fifteen years later, Reykjavik District Court ruled that it could indeed be a feminine name. “Finally, I’ll have the name Blaer in my passport,” the girl said after the ruling. A 15-year-old Icelandic girl has won the right to keep her first name, despite it being “unapproved” by the state. But why do some countries restrict baby names? But why do some countries restrict baby names? In the case of Iceland, it’s about meeting certain rules of grammar and gender, and saving the child from possible embarrassment. Sometimes, although not in every case, officials also insist that it must be possible to write the name in Icelandic. The country provides a list of 1,853 female names, and 1,712 male ones, and parents must pick from these lists or seek permission from a special committee. Similar concerns about child welfare are present in Germany, where a Turkish couple was not allowed to call their baby Osama Bin Laden. One couple named their baby Berlin after the city in which they met, prompting the registrar to mount an objection. He eventually changed his mind after the family’s lawyer pointed out that the courts had allowed the name London. The name 4Real is not accepted by New Zealand authorities, because names cannot start with a number. When Japanese parents register their newborns, the local authorities can say “no” if they don’t think the name is appropriate. In 1993, the name Akuma, meaning “devil”, was not permitted. The United Kingdom and the United States, however, have much more liberal naming laws, but a lot of their kids suffer because of their parents’ weird choices. But why would parents do that to their children? In the US, a lot of parents say they want their kids to be unique. They think an unusual name is fun and that it differentiates their child from everyone else, giving them personality. Americans are also very proprietary about their children and take the attitude, “We can do whatever with our children and if they don’t like it, they can change it when they’re older.” In the US, a lot of parents say they want their kids to be unique.

Americans are also very proprietary about their children and take the attitude, “We can do whatever with our children and if they don’t like it, they can change it when they’re older.” Research on the matter shows that children with unusual names tend to get a lot of abuse at school, but then embrace their odd names when they’re older.
