    In Iceland I think there’s a law against giving your child an embarrasing name. It’s one law that I understand that law

      We actually have a committe called “Mannanafnanefnd” which rougly translates to "Human name committee"and if you want to use a non-typical name for your child you have to apply for permission from them.

      In France it’s the person who record the name that can report it if it seems inappropriate.

      Then there is a procedure to decide if the name can stay at it is or if it needs to be changed
