New Zealand bans weird baby names. Included in list are: Lucifer, Judge, 89 and Duke
New Zealand has joined a handful of other countries in banning baby names that are strange or unusual, Australia's Herald Sun reported.
The move follows similar rules in Sweden, where Superman, Metallica and Elvis, and the name Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, pronounced Albin, are not allowed; and the Dominican Republic, where gender-non-specific names such as Qeurida Pina (Dear Pineapple) and Tonton Ruiz (Dummy Ruiz) were banned.
The list of weird names for kids banned by New Zealand’s names registrar has grown to include Lucifer, Duke, Messiah and 89.
Also not approved: Bishop, Baron, General, Judge, King, Knight and Mr. Those names were all said to be too similar to titles.
The agency has refused to allow names involving asterisks, commas, periods and other punctuation marks, as well as the letters C, D, I and T as first names, the Herald Sun reported.
