My son is a &ldquo;third&rdquo; in line, but had we had the blessing of having another child, choosing that name would have been an uphill battle. I think ever since I was kid I daydreamed about the names I&rsquo;d give my child(ren). They certainly went through phases, but I have a distinct memory of being a young kid learning that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/celebrity-baby-names-unusual-apple-blue-ivy-suri-pilot-inspektor\">Frank Zappa named his child Moon Unit<\/a>. Although as an adult I feel it&rsquo;s harsh to judge, at the time, I thought it was the wildest thing.<\/p><p>As the United States is supposed to be a &ldquo;free country,&rdquo; he was completely free to do so. Funnily enough, however, when Zappa wanted to name his second child Dweezil (after a nickname for his wife Adelaide&rsquo;s pinky toe) the hospital refused to register him under that moniker. It wasn&rsquo;t until the kid turned 5 that they legally changed the name.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The baby names that are illegal in the US (and around the world)<\/h2><p>The concept of a hospital <a href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/parents\/babies\/banned-baby-names-rcna210354\">blocking a baby name<\/a> might seem un-American, but the <em>Today <\/em>show recently reported that according to USbirthcertificates.com, 11 names were ruled by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usbirthcertificates.com\/articles\/illegal-baby-names\">US court system as illegal<\/a>:<\/p><ul id=\"anchor-54b273\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>King<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Queen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Jesus Christ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>III<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Santa Claus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Majesty<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adolf Hitler<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutella<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Messiah<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>@<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1069<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>There are also state addendums to these rules, when parents are blocked from using obscene words as names (California and New Jersey) and character limits are imposed (New York, Texas, and Massachusetts).
