    If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

      Personally, I think it matters that you're naming a baby, and not a fully grown adult, because I don't think many people are naming their babies 'Doris' or 'Ronald'. You want something that sounds nice/cute for a child, that's less likely to have them be bullied for said name, and still works as an adult name.

    USA: gives brand names as names
    Germany: brand names as first names are illegal (pretty sure Fanta was rejected a few years ago)
    also:
    -names cannot impede on the child's dignity (Adolf is actually technically legal but the registration office can refuse to put it on the birth certificate; so kind of depends on the person you get to put in the name or the specific area you're from)
    -name has to make it obvious that it's a person, not an object
    -name has to make the gender obvious (if it's a gender neutral first name, you need a gender-specific middle name)
    -cannot be a place name (there are some exceptions, if it's a normal, somewhat common name somewhere else, that's usually fine; meaning Brooklyn would most likely be accepted, New York wouldn't)
    -cannot be a last name (no Teslas, Hemingways or Shakespeares)
    -spelling has to be deductible from the common spelling rules (meaning basically from reading it, you should be able to kind of guess the pronunciation; foreign names, accents and everything are okay I think)
    -max 5 names
    -cannot impede on the religious beliefs of others (Gott (God) is not allowed, Jesus is but only because it has tradition in Spanish-speaking countries I think)
    -not allowed to name your child the (religious?) epitome of evil (e.g. Satan, Judas)
    -cannot be a noble title as a name (e.g. Lord)
    but basically, if you can prove the name has tradition in another country, you can often get around some of the rules, Mercedes is a girls name in the US, thus might be allowed here, same with Brooklyn, possibly Paris and Jesus (from Spanish)

      ​@@crystalwolcott4744 It's been that way back in the day but a gender-specific (first or middle) name isn't mandatory anymore and has not been for several years now. I myself have a non-gender-specific first name which is mostly given to boys and no middle name even though I am a biological woman and identify with that and I was born in the early 90s in Germany. It's still not allowed to call a girl a name that is specifically a boy's name and the other way round though if this might cause harm to the child due to e.g. bullying later on, so you can't name your daughter Steven or Robert or Mohammad and you can't call your son e.g. Savanna, Lisa or Ruth. If e.g. the person you thought was a daughter identifies as a man or boy later on the name can allways be changed though.
