“ a Name represents identity, a deep feeling and hold tremendous significance to its owner”
Rachel Ingber
Naming a baby is not easy and although I have always felt that each parent is entitled to raise their child as they see fit (within child safety and protections laws and regulations), I must admit that I do think these parents might need a little guidance concerning names.
From what I could gather South Africa has no “banned name” list and parents are free to name their children what ever they like. We would love to hear from someone who has more information about naming laws in South Africa , so please feel free to leave a comment.

3. Circumcision

4. Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116
Swedish parents protested against the strict naming laws in Sweden. Pronounced Albin.
5. NUTELLA
a French couple wanted to name their baby Nutella after the delicious chocolate spread. “One French judge wasn’t having it, and insisted that the name could only lead to “mockery and disobliging remarks.” It was ruled that the child’s named be shortened to the considerably more conventional-sounding “Ella”. Mentalfloss
6. ANAL
“ New Zealand has no time for anyone’s bizarre baby-naming shenanigans. Parents have to get all potential names approved by the government, and if officials deem something too wacky, it gets added to the ever-growing list of banned names. There were many questionable entries on the list they released in 2013, “Anal” being a particularly horrifying offender.” Mentalfloss
7. SEX FRUIT
Thank goodness the New Zealand government stepped in and banned this name.
8. OSAMA BIN LADEN
“ a Turkish couple living in Cologne, Germany, felt inspired to name their child after Osama Bin Laden. German officials shot down the name, citing the section of their naming guidelines that states that all names “must not be likely to lead to humiliation.” What’s more, German law prohibits foreign names that are illegal in the parents’ home country, and this particular moniker is illegal in Turkey.” Mentalfloss
9. Lucifer
“According to the Huffington post this is among the baby names rejected by New Zealand’s department of internal affairs. Disappointed parents wishing to christen their offspring with numbers (89), letters (J, I, T) and punctuation marks (*) were also given short shrift.” Huffinton Post
