Saša and Miki.

I remember a story of a couple who wanted to name their baby with the most beautiful English word they could find
they came up with diarrhea
don't know the end of the story
hope it had a happy end

edit: English was not their native tongue
I think the couple were from India

Mr and Mrs Jackson calling their son Michael

lots of Kylie's and Gazza's in UK in early 90s, too many cruel parents

In Germany there is a list of acceptable names for both boys and girls. I'm sure "Adolf" is on the list as allowed but, understandably, that particular name is not popular there. I'm pretty sure the name "Hitler" is not on the list of acceptable boys names, and the family of the A.H. changed their name long ago so as not to propagate the family name.

I cannot say whether any other countries limit the naming of children.

The official name of a boy we fostered for a while was just two capital letters.
No full stops or space.
That was on his birth certificate.

We never found any computer system that could have his name entered correctly; hospital, doctor's surgery, dentist, library. They had to either use lower case for the second letter or insert a space or full stop.

It will cause problems all his life.
