But then I see poo poo like this and it makes me think that maybe they have the right idea Germany doesn't have a specific list, but a couple rules and the can deny you the right to name your kid Satan, McDonald, Pain, Thanatos, Gucci, Whiskey and Superman (all names that were rejected 2022). They accepted Pepsi-Carola, Leonardo da Vinci Franz, Snow White, Cinderella-Melodie, Dee-Jay, Allemmania and Prestige, so honestly it's not that restrictive.

Whiskey is a loving great name for a kid. It's weird when they are a baby but once they can walk it's hilarious to imagine a parent chasing a toddler saying "Whiskey, come over here" Also, I kinda think a kid named Whiskey isn't going to drink until they're like 30. Like girls named Chastity or Virginia tend to sleep around.

The benchmark is "how hard is your kid going to be bullied in school because of the name you chose", and if you are over the threshold they tell you to find a better name.

You just jump back with "and somehow I'm still smarter than you" This hypothetical kid named Whiskey needs a decent GPA I guess. Or maybe it's a Boy Named Sue situation, hadn't thought about that.

Just having the weird name is what marks the kid as a target, the bullying isn’t going to be specifically about the name. I’m guessing the goons who think that small children are firing back at bullies with bon mots and witticisms don’t have children, because bullies will absolutely just pick anything as a reason, and make that kid’s life a misery all the time.

Also, the fact they're not gonna come up with something good actually makes it worse. Something clever takes way too long to come up with and is hard to repeatedly deploy, but when they come up with the dumbest, laziest jab on the planet? That poo poo's evergreen and the torment adds up. I was bullied over school using several names that literally had no origin beyond 'they don't like it when we call them that', and that was way worse than anything that had any basis, because what the gently caress do you even do in response to that?

Bullying issues aside, it just says a lot about the parents if they give their kids names like that. Yes, it's probably very funny to loudly call for Whiskey at the daycare, and people will give you very funny looks when they find out that's your child's name, but at the end of the day you're sticking your child with that reaction for their entire life, or at least until they change their name and never speak to you again. Fandom names are just as bad. Little Kylo Vader is a person, not an extension of his parents. He might grow up not liking the thing his name is based on. What happens then? Will the parents be able to let their child decide for themselves, or won't they? Obvious fandom name is definitely a sign for the second option. My rule of thumb on fandom names: plausible deniability. Luke is fine, Luke Sky Walker (seen that one in the wild) is not, don't even get me started on Gandalph-Merlin (no spelling error on my end).

Batman was arrested after being caught stealing money from a shop, as well as using his brother's cash card to withdraw money. Far-fetched as it seems, this unusual name does appear to be entirely genuine - and it's not gone unnoticed.

Reminds me of the guy who named his kid after a Homestuck character. One day the mother found out where the name came from, and she divorced him and named the kid something else.

It's also pretty much down to the clerk if they accept a name or not. Friend of mine is named Sharon and, since Sharon is a name that can be used for boys and girls, they told her parents they have to give her a second name that clearly identifies her gender. Sometimes it's insane like that.

The law's determined by state, so it varies exactly what you're allowed to do, but in Victoria there's basically three things you're banned from changing your name to: 1. Names that are 'obscene or offensive', 2. A name that's impractical for regular use (so too long, contain unpronounceable symbols, phrases, acronyms, stuff like that) 3. A name 'contrary to the public interest', which is mostly about knocking you back for putting a title in your name, but does include other things. You cannot call yourself a god. Naturally, they provide examples for 2 and 3, but not for 1.
