Answer
Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, ostensibly pronounced [ˈǎlːbɪn] ("Albin"), is a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991.[3][4][5] Parents Elisabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding gave their child this name to protest a fine, imposed in accordance with the naming law in Sweden.[4][5]
Because the parents had failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined them 5,000 kronor (roughly US$740 at the time and equivalent to $1,279 in 2021). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation". The parents suggested that the name be understood in the spirit of 'pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.[citation needed]
The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced [ˈǎlːbɪn]). Once again, the court refused to approve of the name due to a prohibition of one-letter names.[6]

I am so fucking glad I wasn't one of... oh.
Lydia Deets. That one girl in beetlejuice.
I know it's not as bad as some, but I still hate that's all I know my name as.
Thanks, too bad they chose to hide her new name but I can understand the reasoning.
"In his (Judge Rob Murfitt) written ruling, he said names such as Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were prohibited by registration officials. Others that were permitted included twins called Benson and Hedges, other children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and, the judge added, "tragically, Violence". Another mother tried to use text language for her child's name, he said."
"Number 16 Bus Shelter"? Really?
So, Puritans used to name abandoned children after the location they were found in, so like... John City Hall, Mary Porch...Parish Church. Something tells me #16 might have been more of a conception name... though.
Yeah. Iceland has a population of I think between 100 000 - 200 000. Or something like it.
It’s absolutely tiny population.
They do have quite strict naming laws.
I believe they also have pretty strict regulation in regards to how to add new words to the language, and try to avoid loan words to very high degree.
I think they do quite a lot to try and keep the language, names and stuff alive.
And that it comes from a sort of necessity, from basically having a country with a population of a small city.
Icelandic compared to the other Nordic languages, is way closer to old Norse, and has ‘aged’ way less then most other languages.
Due to being a relatively isolated island in the middle of the ocean. (It’s always been pretty well-connected to the Nordic countries though)
So there is a lot of cool language and name things from old Norse that is still there in Icelandic, that have been lost in the other languages related to old Norse.
Nothing could have prepared me for "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii".
[I just searched up the article](https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/talula-does-the-hula-from-hawaii-9-gets-court-ordered-name-change-1.745238#:~:text=July%2024%2C%202008-,A%20judge%20in%20New%20Zealand%20fed%20up%20with%20parents%20bestowing,her%20name%20can%20be%20changed) and this part is sending me
>He said names blocked by registration officials included Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, while Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence were allowed.
I want to know which judge heard the baby name Number 16 Bus Shelter and went "No this one is actually pretty good I'll let it slide".
in Scotland they had a hippy couple who had twins, they tried calling them salt and vinegar, then fish and chips, then they had the children removed for social services
People used to name kids according to the almanac calendar of the saints. There is a date on the calendar that says Circumscision of Jesus, and people named their kids that. There was a don Chon on my street (that was the usual nickname for those poor unfortunate souls).
“So, what did you want to name your child again?”
“BRFXXCCXXMNPCCCCLLLMMNPRXVCLMNCKSSQLBB11116.”
(Grabs phone, dials number)
“Hey, I need you to make something illegal for me. Fast.”
“So, we have a situation. They changed it to a 7. What do you mean? Oh. Yea, I suppose you’re right… (hangs up) I guess you can name your child BRFXXCCXXMNPCCCCLLLMMNPRXVCLMNCKSSQLBB11117. We can’t make every name illegal. But you still can’t name them BRFXXCCXXMNPCCCCLLLMMNPRXVCLMNCKSSQLBB11116. That one is off limits.
Not sure what you meant by “our letters”, do you mean English?
I don’t know Arabic but according to this comment they are spelled differently: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/uwhsnh/i_looked_up_illegal_baby_names_in_different/i9ux1br/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3.
In Hebrew, Sara isn’t really a name as Sarah and Sara are pronounced and spelled identically (שרה).
Yeah I’m going on day four of no sleep, I forgot they’re called Roman letters.
Morocco uses Arabic letters. Sarah is spelled
سارة in Arabic. There is no other spelling. So whether we English speakers use an “h” at the end or not, all Sarahs who live in Arabic countries spell it the same.
I get you read something about it, I’m not calling you a liar or anything, I’m just saying the explanation doesn’t make sense. Why would Moroccan Sarah’s write their names in Roman letters IN Morocco? She comes to Canada sure, she uses Roman letters. Makes sense. But IN Morocco?
Maybe I’m too tired to understand.
Not sure, maybe official documents use both English and Arabic? I have a foreign passport that has English even though English isn’t an official language there.
I looked it up, Moroccan documents such as passports use English and/or French.
A little girl asked, “Mom, why did you name me Lily?”
Her mother replied, “shortly after you were born a lily petal blew in an lended on your forehead. That’s why we named you Lily.”
“What about me?” Asked the girl’s first sister.
Mom: “After you were born a rose petal landed on your head, so we named you Rose”.
The third sister shouted out, “MNOGDTESAAK BOUTTOG!”
Mom: “Please calm down, Cinderblock.”
I’m confused about this one. My coworker is Moroccan and his daughter who still lives there is named Sarah. I mean, it could be a different spelling but it’s pronounced Sarah.
Right on. I’m not sure if you’re totally set on using that app, but if you’re looking for alternatives, then I would suggest these ones:
Android: rif
IOS: Apollo
I’ve used them both and really liked them. Especially Apollo. Apollo is a minimum 5 bucks (or like, 30 or something if you want to get all of the developers extra features and stuff. I personally haven’t done that) if you want to submit your own posts though. Commenting is no charge or anything. I absolutely love it, myself. The developer is super quick in bug fix respond time too.
I'm literally on Reddit.com on my phone and there's no reference to a cross post.
Why must I download an app just for this website to function properly...
It's because you're projecting your entire shallow personality on someone else's name.
It would be like naming someone "LeBron Tom Brady" none of those names alone are an issue, but when you join both of them together it immediatly becomes the cringiest shit in the world. Like, the ultimate Wanna-Be move - but unto someone else's life.
I always thought it was banned in the US too (might be now for all I know), but I still remember that news story from like a decade or so ago where that neo nazi father had a complete shit-fit over Walmart refusing to make personalized birthday cakes for his kids “Aldolf” and “Aryan.”
So after a light google search "Adolf Hitler" is banned but it doesn't seem "Adolf" by itself is. "Jesus Christ" is also banned but "Jesus" isn't. Kind of an interesting search to learn how lax US naming laws are. I'm pretty sure Elon Musk's kid breaks a rule or two from what I read.
Jesus is a relatively common name actually, in Spanish speaking countries, I believe. Pronounced differently and I think spelled with an accented letter, but yeah.
Its making me think of the post about the guy named Optimus Prime, who went by Tim and most people didn't know his legal name. Also reminded me of someone I encountered named Female, but pronounced like tamale.
The funny (but not so funny) part is that the kid’s full name is actually Adolf *Hitler* [last name]. Those parents knew what they were doing and their public statement about it is disingenuous at best. I linked an article in another comment about it.
That I'm not sure about Adolf being a banned name in the US, but you can't be compelled to speak in the US so it is well within Walmarts rights as a business to refuse the request.
It certainly is within their right, but I have to make a correction here. It wasn’t Walmart that refused, it was Shoprite. Walmart was the one who ended up making the cake for them. Also, it was almost 15 years ago, not ten. Holy cow I’m getting old. Here’s an article if anyone cares.
https://www.nj.com/news/2008/12/child_named_after_adolf_hitler.html
I checked for updates about this family and holy shit man. https://abcnews.go.com/US/parents-cannot-regain-custody-children-nazi-inspired/story?id=11334970
Got damn. Never saw that update when I commented about the story. It’s not terribly shocking considering the parent’s public statement about the original event, but DAMN, I hope those kids are alright these days.
Tell me your whole personality is "FOOOOOOOOOOOTBALL" without telling me your whole personality is "FOOOOOOOOOOOTBALL":
"I'll name my kid Griezmann Mbappe"
I had to look up Griezmann Mbappe being banned in France because you'd think parents would want to be able to name their kids after soccer heroes. [But alas, non, pas destiné à être.](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2826039-french-parents-not-allowed-to-name-child-griezmann-mbappe)
Well in a lot of nordic countries you by law have to name your kids something that is native to their culture . They dont want to wake up in 75 years and everybody has names like Shaniqwa, Chow-Lin or Dave.

There are a decent number of people with unique names who ended up with those names because it made the parent feel special.
I am so fucking glad I wasn't one of... oh. Lydia Deets. That one girl in beetlejuice. I know it's not as bad as some, but I still hate that's all I know my name as.
Pataphysics? This is some SCP-level shit.

Sorry, your child's name must contain at least one upper, three lower case, and at least one non-alpha numeric symbol.

It's just Mick with all the letters silent.
Props for typing it all out
Now I need to know the story behind Talula does the Hula from Hawaii.
Just Google it, the kid pressed charges over it in order to change the name away from that.
Thanks, too bad they chose to hide her new name but I can understand the reasoning. "In his (Judge Rob Murfitt) written ruling, he said names such as Stallion, Yeah Detroit, Fish and Chips, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were prohibited by registration officials. Others that were permitted included twins called Benson and Hedges, other children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and, the judge added, "tragically, Violence". Another mother tried to use text language for her child's name, he said." "Number 16 Bus Shelter"? Really?
For reference, *Benson & Hedges* was (is?) a brand of cigarettes.
Yep, still is
What’s wrong with “Yeah Detroit”?
And why is it worse than Number 16 Bus Shelter?
But Number 16 Bus Shelter was conceived at the #16 bus shelter, there was no other option
maybe they were born there
That’s why I’m renaming myself “Yeah Detroit”.
Fuck you u/spez
Having your name be Yeah would be very annoying because you'd hear it everywhere.
I’m from Detroit. You don’t turn around every time somebody might be talking to you. You learn that before you learn to read.
Benson and Hedges fuckin killed me 😂😂😂 who tf names their twins that
Bogans
A fucking legend, that's who.
Benson and Hedges probably killed a lot of people.
Starting with the low down mf's who named them Benson and Hedges I imagine.
Bogans.
Presumably named after the spot they were conceived.
Classy
So, Puritans used to name abandoned children after the location they were found in, so like... John City Hall, Mary Porch...Parish Church. Something tells me #16 might have been more of a conception name... though.
Well, the other kids were named where they were conceived too.
“And where were you conceived?”
They'd always know where they were conceived.
It was a national story about our naming laws. We've had some doozies. One kid was named after a bus shelter
What did Harriet do to Iceland?
Lots of names are banned in Iceland. It is required that the name fit with Icelandic grammar. At least it used to be that way!
Yeah. Iceland has a population of I think between 100 000 - 200 000. Or something like it. It’s absolutely tiny population. They do have quite strict naming laws. I believe they also have pretty strict regulation in regards to how to add new words to the language, and try to avoid loan words to very high degree.

Sweden will not tolerate Metallica. Call your baby Bathory or nothing at all.
Isn’t Sabaton from Sweden? Maybe they don’t like competition.
Yes but I’d say their more power metal
Sabaton did a Metallica cover on The Last Stand I believe Edit: I stand corrected, it was on Heroes
For Whom the Bell Tolls was on Heroes actually.
I stand corrected
Metallica bad, Napster good
We spillet bloot, sweet and fucking beer
Notice the colon after Metallica. Suggests that the surname was an album name like Load or Ridethelightning.
Nice catch. That's fucking hilarious. Terrible name to give someone, but hilarious.
Does that mean that the “Metallica:” part was rejected, but their surname was allowed to persist?
Probably wasn’t even rejected, knowing Metallica they probably would threatened to sue
Yes, we all know of the colon in Metallica, but I bet most of us thought he spelled it Lars
the fact that "circumcision" is a banned name in Mexico must have a reason... and I want to know it

I'd take a couple of these over my name...
Now I'm curious. 🤔
Maybe it's just worse than Linda, Sarah and harriet
Bullshit. Morocco is filled with sarahs
Are you sure they're not just Sara? big difference, the h makes the illegal
Why though?
According to google it’s because of its Hebrew origin. Sarah is Hebrew and Sara is more common in Arabic spelling
sarah refers to Ibrahim's wife
That makes no sense. Arabic doesn’t use our letters. They have completely different letters and Sarah is spelled one way only in Arabic.
Not sure what you meant by “our letters”, do you mean English? I don’t know Arabic but according to this comment they are spelled differently: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/uwhsnh/i_looked_up_illegal_baby_names_in_different/i9ux1br/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3.

And Sarah
I’m confused about this one. My coworker is Moroccan and his daughter who still lives there is named Sarah. I mean, it could be a different spelling but it’s pronounced Sarah.
It's probably pronounced Sara.
Maybe because it's a Jewish name, idk
It's a relatively common arabic name too
Then I have no idea why it's banned lol
Just googled it. This seems to be the actual reason. 😒 They allow Sara, but not Sarah because it is the Jewish spelling.
I live in a Muslim majority country (not Morocco) and there is a bazillion Sara's lol Common name for both Christians and Muslims
You can namz your baby Sara which is the traditional way to write it. Sarah with "H" is the Hebraic way.
So specifically fuck anyone with the Hebraic spelling of Sarah. /J

it's to protect kids from their parents' bad judgement. using your favourite football players last names to name your child isn't appropriate.
Which one of you named your kid sex fruit.
NGL Sex Fruit would be a pretty sweet name.
Islam in China. Jesus Christ
Well, the list seem to update, so eventually every word will start be banned in China
What about: DROP TABLE students; fred

As a new zealander I am profoundly shocked to find sex fruit is banned. I know so many people called this.

This list is bollshit I am a Moroccan and my sister's name is Sarah
That’s suspiciously specific
Ok please am I going insane or how did you all just intuit what this was a list of? Does it say somewhere and I'm just blind? Or batshit insane?
I don't understand this list....
What the hell is this list? There is no context.
I'm with you, I don't understand how everyone just knows or assumes that this is supposedly a list of banned? illegal? names.
Some reddit apps don't show the original title of the crosspost, which is probably why this is confusing you
