I wish we had this in the UK, some of the names are ridiculous! I work with a Tilly and I genuinely wish her parents had named her Matilda so she had options as an adult!

[RM-elgw]

name it "DEUTSCHLAND", so that everyone can see how much this baby loves their country. Surely nothing could go wrong!

[jiliciar.]

This needs to be illegal all over the world.

I don't know how naming your child Olaf or Ute is legal in German...

[goldflo]

Wow, Kevin can be offensive in Germany 😳

When this name actually has Celtic origins, but maybe it has nothing to do with German (Prussian) culture ?

Is there a constantly-updated standard list of prohibited names? If not, you're at the mercy and whim of one government employee's personal opinions. Is there a method to appeal a decision?

[Visionform]

Germans do like their pointless rules. 😂🎉

[evaconde]

Normi, Mellet and Nori are beautiful names for German girl

[karlosthejackel]

When you register a baby, you legally make that baby government property.

[inonil]

How about "Deutschalsfremdsprachen Müller"
