Names that involve royal titles, such as the king, the Queen, Majesty, and the Prince, are often prohibited to prevent misleading effects.

Did you know that some American states prohibit parents to give their children certain names, including Jesus Christ, the Queen, or the King? Let’s study some examples of these banned names:
1. Adolf Hitler: This name is prohibited because of his association with the Nazi leader responsible for the Holocaust, which prevents the glorification of hatred and atrocities.
2. Masih: This name faced legal challenges on religious foundations. In 2013, a Tennessee judge ordered to change the name of the child from “Christ” to “Martin”, citing religious reasons. This decision was later canceled, and the judge was removed to impose personal beliefs on the law.
3. Lucifer: Although it is allowed in some states, Lucifer’s name is prohibited in others because of his association with Satan in the Christian theology.
4. Jesus Christ: This name is restricted in some judicial states to avoid causing a religious crime and confusion.
5.
6. Santa Claus: This name is not allowed in some areas to avoid confusion and preserve cultural suitability.
7. Third (Roman issue): In California, the man has the right to change his name to “III” because the symbols or numbers alone do not constitute a legal name.
8.
These designations differ from one country to another. For example, California and New Jersey restrict the outrageous or offensive names, while states like Illinois and South Carolina are names that contain numbers or symbols.
