  • No, they’re all banned. Malaysia has a law that bans babies being given names that fall into any of the 22 categories on this list. For some reason they’ve grouped them into names that could cause legal issues (objectionable) and names that are seen as cruel (undesirable). They give some examples but it’s not an exhaustive list. If a name is ruled to belong in one of these 22 categories, it isn’t allowed.

    Every country has really different naming laws so they’re neat to read about.
