In Iceland I think there's a law against giving your child an embarrasing name. It's one law that I understand
We actually have a committe called "Mannanafnanefnd" which rougly translates to "Human name committee"and if you want to use a non-typical name for your child you have to apply for permission from them.
Who watches the watchers?
Presumably the Nefnanafnanefnd
Who keeps falling asleep on the keyboard for these naming conventions?
But who will watch the Nefnanafnanefnd?
I heard that names have to be -son or -dottir able. Is that still true?
What kind of name isn't?
Dottiedottir is just silly and so is Seanson
Cthulhu approved.
a completely understandable law to prevent mental stress/depression down the line.
In France it's the person who record the name that can report it if it seems inappropriate.
Then there is a procedure to decide if the name can stay at it is or if it needs to be changed
