Parents Banned From Naming Baby Lucifer In NZ
The list of 102 names which were turned down also includes single letters 'C', 'D', 'I' and 'T', reports the AAP.
Titles like 'Knight', 'King', 'Judge' and 'Mr' and punctuation including '.' (full stop), '*' (asterisk) and '/' (forward slash) were also prohibited.
The Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages has been taking baby names more seriously after it emerged that it had approved boy names like 'Violence' and 'Number 16 Bus Shelter' in 2008.
In that same year, a family court judge allowed a 9-year-old girl to legally change her name from 'Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii'. The girl was said to be traumatised because of the name.
The judge said at the time: "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap."
