Germany has a few rules regarding baby names, but there isn't a strict list of illegal names. Instead, they focus on ensuring names are not harmful or disruptive.
Here are some examples of names that might be rejected:
- Names that could cause harm or ridicule: Names that could be easily mistaken for offensive words or could lead to bullying are generally discouraged.
- Names that are purely symbolic or lack a clear meaning: Names that are solely based on symbols or lack a clear pronunciation are often not accepted.
- Names that are already used for official purposes: For instance, using the name of a government official or a prominent figure might be rejected.
In essence, the focus is on ensuring names are meaningful, pronounceable, and respectful.
