Strange Baby-Naming Laws

Germany

Parents are banned by law from using last names and the names of objects and products as first names. A child’s first name must clearly show his or her sex, and all names must be approved by the office of vital statistics(人口統(tǒng)計(jì)) in the area in which the child was born.

Iceland

The country’s naming committee consults the National Register of Persons to determine if a name is acceptable. If parents prefer a name which is not on the list, they must apply for approval and pay a fee, and the name must contain only letters in the Icelandic alphabet.

New Zealand

The country’s Births, Deaths, and Marriages Registration Act of 1995 doesn’t allow parents to choose a name that “might cause offense to a reasonable person; is unreasonably long; or is, includes, or is similar to an official title or rank,” including, apparently, Adolf Hitler and Yeah Detroit—both names recently rejected.

Denmark

If Danish parents prefer a name not on the list of 7,000 preapproved baby names, they must get permission from local church and government officials. 15 to 20 percent of the 1,100 reviewed names—including creative spellings of common names, last names as first names, and unusual names—are rejected each year.

1.You can tell whether a baby is a girl or a boy according to the first name in ________.

A. Germany B. New Zealand

C. Iceland D. Denmark

2.In Iceland, the names should ________.

A. be on the name list without exception

D. be accepted by the National Register of Persons

3.In New Zealand the naming law ________.

A. used to forbid the use of the name of Adolf Hitler

B. allows names similar to an official title or rank

C. is considerate as to how other people feel about the names

D. doesn’t allow using last names as first names
