What are the official character restrictions when it comes to legally naming your child in most countries?
-
2019-01-07 at 8:08 PM UTCIs there a formal specification on which characters are allowed?
First off, are there length or pattern restrictions? E.g.: Could you name your kid Adolph Hitler Osama Bin Laden Fuck You Society Suck My Dick Faggots Johnson?
Is there a number of characters after which they cut you off? E.g.: Could you name your kid Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(…) Johnson?
Can you use punctuation? E.g.: @nth0ny Johnson?
Can you use any unicode character?
Even...
…emojis???
If I ever start seeing emojis on people's birth certificates, that is the day I become a literal space nigga. I will build myself a space craft and attempt to launch myself into outer space. I don't care if it falls apart and I just crash into the ocean or something. I refuse to live on a planet where people put emojis in their kids' names. -

Lol no, just curiosity.
If I were having kids, though, I'd use a name from the bible.
Not because I'm religious; in fact, I'm anything but.
Biblical names, though, are kind of a go-to standard.
The more creative/exotic you try to get, the more risk you're taking of your kid being ridiculed later in life (especially in elementary and high school).
E.g.: Adam, David, Daniel, etc. Elizabeth (derived from biblical), Rachel, Sarah, etc. -

All names should be Slavic names.
Where is your avatar from? It looks vaguely familiar. Is it from a music video? -

Ultimately, a lot of Slavic names seem to come from similar roots as Anglo-Saxon, Scandinavian, Latin, and other European names...
One of my close friends is Ukranian and named Alex (at least, that's the Anglicized/shortened version).
Ivan is super common in Russia, and, interestingly, it comes from the same origin as John.

It is a music video (from the 90's):

Yeah that's a good point.
I mean, when it comes to how you sign, no one can really tell you your signature is "wrong."
However, there's no way they would let you name your kid
...
How would you even pronounce it? -

Was "Adolph Hitler" the kids real name? Like on the birth certificate (or whatever official ID they give new borns over there)?
If that were the case, what would happen next? Do they force the kid to have a their name legally changed?

when i was a kid i thought the phrase 'fuck you' is a good signature until i learnt that boys sometimes can get literally fucked too.
then i stopped using it as a signature. -
