hey guys thank you for visiting us here at most amazing top 10 my name is Danny bug and what is your name it's Matthew isn't it I knew it I knew it was Matthew I think I just freaked out alot of Matthew's out there but the reason I'm talking about names in this video is because sometimes names can be illegal if parents try and give their kids the names we have on this list they are actually breaking the law in some countries because this is the top 10 illegal baby names starting off at number 10 we have Facebook yes as in the Facebook a few years ago Mexico had a real problem with parents naming their kids pretty strange things eventually they said enough is enough and they released a list of 61 names that they had banned because people had tried to give them two babies one of the ones that stood out for everyone was Facebook in a world where 38% of the entire planet population uses this social media site this was going to always happen somewhere someday and it happened in Mexico the government said the law prohibits giving children names that art derogatory have no meaning or can lead to bullying so they're worried that Facebook would get bullied at school but I can totally see Facebook growing up to actually be the bully that picks on fellow classmates like Twitter or YouTube yeah yeah Facebook's a real bully here coming in at number 9 we have full stop actually written like that but pronounced full stop some of you guys might call it a period but we all know it's that little dot that signifies the end of a sentence well for a couple in New Zealand it was also what they wanted their baby to be called for the rest of its life amazingly it almost made it through before the officials were like whirl whirl whirl whirl well a dot is not a name and while they were there they also banned people from naming their kids the backslash or Asterix symbols but there's plenty more punctuation out there next up another 8 now we have a really crazy one Sarah yes in Morocco there is a list of approved baby names that reflect Moroccan identity these names are mostly Arabic and Sarah spelt SAR a H is considered the Jewish Ebru version and so is not allowed so what the parents do if they want to call their baby daughter Sarah in Morocco well luckily there is an Arabic version of the name Sarah it's Sarah but with no H at the end removing just one letter turns the name into the Arabic spelling of the word maybe that's why the H is silent so the parents can keep it a secret moving on to number seven now we have a Dolph Hitler and although this name is pretty much frowned upon everywhere there are countries like New Zealand where the name is effectively banned you would have to fight really really hard if you wanted to name your kid Adolf Hitler you can tell Adolphe Hitler it's a big no-no because I don't even need to explain why it's bad everyone knows imagine doing things that are so evil nobody is allowed to even share your name forever a New Zealand judge once said that names like this were banned to not give the child psychological trauma for the rest of their life next up number six now we have Hermione this name has been around since ancient Greece but has gained a lot more popularity in recent years thanks to one particular Harry Potter character despite all of this a Mexican state has banned it after Harry Potter fans there started naming their daughters after the magical female role model why well it all goes back to bullying they are worried that a kid named after a fictional which might be bullied at school when they're older really really is that real reason I think they just don't like muggles disgusting coming in at the number 5 spot now we have Nutella in 2015 a judge in France told a couple they could not name their daughter Nutella after the popular chocolate spread because she would be mocked for it yes this really went to court if you ever wonder what's happening in courts this is the current thing that's happening the parents stood up to the judge and argue that they named their daughter Nutella because they wanted baby Nutella to be like real Nutella sweet and popular I am NOT making this up they were asked to come back to court where a final decision would be made but they never showed up so the court decided she should officially be called Elle but in the end doesn't really matter what the judge says it's too late we're all now gonna call her baby little Nutella isn't that sweet next up number four we have the @ symbol just try to do the @ symbol with my hand that's not the @ symbol whenever you type out your email address to someone it actually includes an illegal baby name in China some parents wanted to call their baby Wang at or ATAR as it's pronounced in Mandarin the reason is that 8r is very similar to a phrase that means love him ah isn't that sweet love him lovely stuff right well no not according to the Chinese government they have banned all non Chinese characters and symbol including the @ symbol so don't even try naming your kid hashtag it's not gonna work coming in at number 3 now we have devil in 1994 a japanese couple registered their firstborn son as Akuma devil in Japanese officials agreed to it at first but then two months later they were like whoa whoa stop stop stop we know we've thought about the whole devil thing and yeah no it's not happening they claimed the parents were abusing the right to name their child but little devil's father said he picked it because it's so unique and that there will only be one Japanese person with this name although the baby had already begun to respond to their name devil the father agreed to a second name for his son emperor that's what he chose I'm just worried that he'll now grow up to be known as Emperor devil he's already a supervillain all right next up at number 2 we have ball reel with an actual fall we're going back to New Zealand again for this one a couple were looking at an ultrasound scan of their unborn baby and it was at this moment that the father said he realized that baby was now for real and they thought hey let's name our baby that I'm actually used the number for well officials said they couldn't do that because babies aren't allowed to have numbers in their names for reals father brushed that off and said it didn't matter what the law says they were still going to continue to call for real for real forever but in the meantime they still have to choose an official name and so they went with Superman yeah he's officially a superhero now - maybe he should battle emprah death and finally in number one we have the classic name BRF x XC c XX m and p cccc l ll mm NPR XV c LM and c KS SQL BB 1 1 1 1 5 and no I'm not gonna repeat that for you I think I'm I've got one of those that is wrong anyway in 1982 Sweden created a law that was intended to stop non noble families from giving their children so-called noble names one family didn't like the fact that the government was telling them what they could or could not name their baby and so they protested by naming their baby you know well I'm not going to say it again obviously but it's floating below me right now so you can check about out but apparently I pronounced it wrong because the family said the name is just pronounced Albin yeah they're obviously trolling the name was rejected by officials obviously but I like to think they went ahead with it anyway and somewhere in Sweden right now you can find a person called Albin who takes about five minutes to write their own name alright guys that is all we've got time for do you think any of these were a bit unfair do you want to name your kid Facebook maybe what name would you make illegal if you could find an e-book and you'll find me down there in a comment section to discuss this one with all of you I hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see you guys next time
