In Taiwan, there is a high degree of freedom when it comes to naming, but in the United States, while there is also freedom, it is not without restrictions.

As of now, there are 11 names that have been expressly prohibited by courts in the US, primarily due to issues such as religious offense, political sensitivity, and social order.

Some of these banned names include Adolf Hitler, Jesus Christ, Santa Claus, King, Queen, Majesty, Messiah, Nutella, III, the symbol @, and the number 1069. Parents who insist on using these names for their children could face administrative rejection or legal issues.

Experts advise that when naming children, it is best to avoid uncommon, exaggerated, or controversial terms to prevent unnecessary difficulties or discrimination in their social, educational, and professional lives. Additionally, even names not legally banned, such as Candy, Honey, or Baby, may carry unwanted associations with the adult industry, particularly for females, leading to stereotypes and misunderstandings.

Therefore, experts recommend that whether parents are naming their children or individuals are choosing English names, they should prioritize cultural respect and practical considerations, opting for names that are both legally acceptable and positively perceived.
