You have names in this video is because sometimes names can be illegal if trying to give their kids the names we have on this list they are actually breaking the law in some countries because this is the top 10 illegal baby names starting up at
We have Facebook yes as in the Facebook. A few years ago Mexico had a real problem with parent's naming their kids pretty strange things eventually they said enough is enough and they released a list of 61 names that they had banned because people had tried to give them too babies. One of the ones that stood out for everyone was Facebook in a world where 38% of the entire planet population uses this social media site this was going to always happen somewhere someday and it happened in Mexico. The government said the law prohibits giving children names that are derogatory have no meaning or can lead to bullying so they're worried that Facebook would get bullied at school but I can totally see Facebook growing up to actually be the bully that pics on fellow classmates like Twitter or YouTube, yeah Facebooks the real bully here.
Full Stop
Going in at number 9 we have. The full stop dot. Some of you guys might call it a period. But we all know it's that little dot that signifies the end of a sentence. Well for a couple in New Zealand it was also what they wanted their baby to be called for the rest of his life. Amazingly it almost made it through before the officials where like "well well hold up" a dot is not a name. They went and also banned people from naming their kids the back (/) or asterisk symbols but there's plenty more punctuation out there.
Sarah
But now we have a really crazy one Sarah. Yes Sarah in Morocco there is a list of approved baby names that reflect Moroccan identities names are mostly Arabic and Sarah spelt s-a-r-a-h is considered the Jewish Hebrew version and so is not allowed so what the parents do if they want to call their baby daughter Sarah in Morocco well luckily there is an Arabic version of the name Sarah it's Sara but with no (H) at the end. Removing just one letter turns the name into the Arabic spelling of the word maybe that's why the (H) is silent so the parents can keep it a secret.
Adolf Hitler
Moving onto number 7 now we have Adolf Hitler and although this name is pretty much frowned upon everywhere. There are countries like New Zealand where the name is effectively banded and you will have the fight really really hard if you wanted to name your kid Adolf Hitler. You can tell Adolf Hitler is a big no no because I don't even need to explain why it's banned everyone knows. Imagine doing things are so evil nobody is allowed to even share your name forever. In New Zealand a judge wonce said that these names like this where band, so would not give the child psychological trauma for the rest of their life.
Hermione
In number 6 now we have Hermione. Hermione's name has been around since ancient Greece but has gained a lot more popularity in recent years thanks to one particular Harry Potter character. Despite all of this a Mexican state has Band it after Harry Potter fans they started naming their daughters after the magical female role model. Why well it all goes back to bullying, they are worried that a kid named after fictional witch might be bullied at school when they're older. Really really is that the real reason. Or maybe they just don't like muggles disgusting.
Nutella
Coming in at the number 5. Now we have a Nutella in 2015 a judge in France told a couple they could not name their daughter Nutella after the popular chocolate spread because she would be mocked for it. Yes this really went to court if you ever wonder what's happening in court this is what's happening. The parents stood up to the judge and argue that they name their daughter Nutella because they wanted baby Nutella to be like a real Nutella sweet and popular. I am not making this up they were asked to come back to court with a final decision would be made but they never showed up so the court decided she should officially be called Ella. But in the end it doesn't matter what the judge says it's too late, were all now going to call her baby little Nutella isnt that sweet.
@
Next we have the @ symbol. Whenever you type out your email address to some one it actually includes an illegal baby name in China some parents want to call their baby the @ symbol. The Chinese government band all non Chinese characters and symbols including the @ symbol so don't even try name your kid hashtag (#) its not going to work.
Devil
We have devil in 1994 a Japanese couple registered their first born son as Akuma meaning Devil in Japanese officials agreed to it at first. But then two months later they where like wait wait stop stop no you cant call your kid that. They claimed the parents would be abusing the right to name their child. But little Devils father said he picked it because it's so unique and that they will only be one Japanese person with this name. Although the baby had already begun to respond the name devil, the father agreed to a second name for his son. So he called him Emperor that's what you chose. I'm just worried that he will now grow up to be known as emperor devil is already known as a super-villain.
4real
Next up at number 2 we have 4real with an actual 4. We're going back to New Zealand again for this one. A couple were looking at an ultrasound scan of their unborn baby and it was at this moment that the father said he realised the baby was now 4real and they thought they had to name there baby that. Actually use the number 4. Well officials said they couldn't do that because babies aren't allowed to have numbers in their names. 4realz father brushed that often said it didn't matter what the law says they were still going to continue to call 4real, 4real forever. But in the meantime they still have to choose an official name and so they went with Superman, he's officially a superhero now too. Maybe he should battle Emperor Devil.
Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11115
Finally we another one of those classic names brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11115. In 1982 Sweden created a law that was intended to stop non noble families from giving their children so called noble names. One family didn't like the fact that the government was telling them what they could or could not call there baby. So they named their baby brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11115 in protest over the law. easy drawing the name was rejected by officials obviously but I like they think they went ahead with it anyway and somewhere in Sweden right now you can find a person called brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11115 who takes about 5 minutes to write her own name.
