Nice Try, But No: You Can't Name Your Baby ‘King' Or ‘Hitler' In These US States
Last Updated: Names implying royal titles, such as King, Queen, Majesty, and Prince, are often prohibited to prevent misleading implications. Did you know that some US states prohibit parents from giving their children certain names, including Jesus Christ, Queen, or King? Let's examine some examples of these banned names: 1. Adolf Hitler: This name is prohibited due to its association with the Nazi leader responsible for the Holocaust, preventing the glorification of hate and atrocities. 2. Messiah: This name has faced legal challenges on religious grounds. In 2013, a Tennessee judge ordered a baby's name changed from 'Messiah" to 'Martin", citing religious reasons. This decision was later overturned, and the judge was removed for imposing personal beliefs over the law. 3. Lucifer: Although permitted in some states, the name Lucifer is banned in others due to its association with the devil in Christian theology. 4. Jesus Christ: This name is restricted in certain jurisdictions to avoid causing religious offence and confusion. 5. King, Queen, Majesty, Prince: Names implying royal titles, such as King, Queen, Majesty, and Prince, are often prohibited to prevent misleading implications. 6. Santa Claus: This name is disallowed in some areas to avoid confusion and maintain cultural appropriateness. 7. III (Roman Numeral): In California, a man was denied the right to change his name to 'III" because symbols or numbers alone do not constitute a legal name. 8. @, 1069, Mon1ka: Names containing symbols, numbers, or unconventional spellings like these are generally prohibited due to administrative difficulties and potential confusion. These naming prohibitions vary from state to state. For instance, California and New Jersey restrict obscene or offensive names, while states like Illinois and South Carolina ban names containing numbers or symbols.
