Mar 28, 2023 at 14:22 comment added Raul Luna @NeilMeyer: no, it is not illegal. In Spain you can call your son Janus and it is not a problem. Or other names that have funny rhymes, even in Spanish. But it's illegal call your son Anus. Or Vagina.
Mar 27, 2023 at 13:49 comment added Neil Meyer @RaulLuna So it is illegal to call your child Janus in Spain. I knew a kid in primary school that was tortured to the extreme by the other children because of the body part his name rhymed with.

May 24, 2020 at 1:21 comment added timepieces141 It might open the law up to all sorts of interpretation issues, but I find "diacritical marks" being forbidden to ridiculous (at very least). I don't have those marks in my name, but I know those that do. It's not their name with the English language equivalent letters. It's 2020 - are they using a typewriter to enter these?
May 21, 2020 at 11:29 comment added Raul Luna For God sake, I cannot believe this story.... In Spain the law bans to name a child with names that can cause suffering or discrimination because of that. You cannot name your children "stupid" or something like that, it's forbidden to keep the welfare of the children. T

of rather than if.
May 20, 2020 at 22:44 comment added ohwilleke The fact that the form itself limits the kind of input involved in the name does not per se me that the name is not allowed, it is simply a limitation on how the name may be described on a particular government form for purposes of a particular government document. It is not necessarily a person's "true name" for all purposes.
