The majority of us never need worry about it, but there are systems in places in most countries preventing parents from giving their children certain names.
It makes perfect sense that such guardrails exist, of course; children have no say in what they’re called (at least until they’re old enough to legally make decisions for themselves) and certain names leave them open to ridicule and harassment, irrespective of their parents’ intentions.
As I said, most of us likely never have to worry about not being able to give our son or daughter the name we have picked. There are hundreds of thousands of names that will never be considered offensive, after all, and in an overwhelming amount of cases, a simple, traditional name suffices.
But not always. The rules exist for a reason, and there are people who are told ‘no’ every year when they try to give their baby a name that is deemed unsuitable.
