New Zealand Banned Names

New Zealand has compiled a list of 77 of the names that have been rejected by the government. According to the linked article, "acceptable names must not cause offense to a reasonable person, not be unreasonably long and should not resemble an official title and rank." The USA has no such restrictions in place; the only regulations to my knowledge are that names must be made of letters (for example, you can name a kid Seventeen, but not 17).

Here are 71 of New Zealand's banned names, along with the number of times they were rejected in the past: 12 years or so... in parentheses are the number of children given these names in the USA since 1880 (girls in pink, boys in blue)
