Putin signed a law prohibiting giving children exotic names containing numbers or symbols. In addition, now in Russia it will not be possible to call children with swear words and titles
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning calling children numbers, swear words and titles. The corresponding document was published on the official Internet portal of legal information.
According to the document, a provision is added to Article 58 of the Family Code of Russia that when parents choose a child’s name, “the use of numbers, alphanumeric designations, numerals, symbols and non-letter characters, with the exception of the “hyphen” sign, or any of them is not allowed combinations, or swear words, indications of ranks, positions, titles.” Changes made to the federal law “On Civil Status Acts” prohibit the registration of such names.
The law also establishes that the child's surname is determined by the surname of the parents. If the parents have different surnames, then by their agreement the child may be assigned the surname of the father, mother, or a double surname formed by joining two surnames to each other in any sequence, unless otherwise provided by the laws of the constituent entities of Russia. The document stipulates that a child’s double surname can consist of no more than two words, joined by a hyphen when written.
The bill was submitted to the State Duma on April 21, 2016. The author of the legislative initiative was Senator Valentina Petrenko. She mentioned the case of a boy named BOCH rVF 260602 (Biological object of a person of the Voronin-Frolov family, born June 26, 2002). In 2014, he was still living without documents, since the court sided with the Moscow registry office, which refused to register a child with that name in order to protect his interests.
A year after its introduction, on April 21, 2017, the bill was passed by the State Duma in the third final reading.
Foreign experience
Some countries have restrictions on the names that can be given to children. For example, in Britain and Wales, employees of relevant services are advised to register children's names, consisting of a sequence of letters and not containing insults. The only limitation on the length of the name is related to the ability to fit it on the registration sheet.
In the US, restrictions on naming a child vary by state. Some states have restrictions on name length due to the software used by registration authorities. For the same reasons, other states do not allow numbers or pictograms in names.
Since 1993, a child in France can be named by any name. The question of whether the name is contrary to the interests of the child is decided by the registration authorities.
In Germany, surnames and names of products or objects cannot be used as names for children. The decision on whether the child’s name meets the requirements is made by a special agency. In addition, with each application you have to pay a fee, so a large number of attempts to name a child with an exotic name will be very expensive.
The State Duma and the Federation Council were concerned about the “euphony” of the names of our fellow citizens. The State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation recommended that deputies adopt in the first reading a law that would prohibit parents from calling their children ridiculous and dissonant names. The author of this bill, by the way, is Federation Council member Valentina Petrenko, a person with an unusual hairstyle and strict views on life. 
The document even includes examples of “incorrect” names: Christamrirados, Dolphin, Luka-Happiness Summerset Ocean, Yaroslav-Lyutobor, Zarya Zaryanitsa, Oceana and BOC rVF 26062 (Biological object of a person of the Voronin-Frolov family born on June 26, 2002). The last name, let’s say, is clearly too much, but, by the way, it was not registered in the registry office. And now this “biological human object,” the unfortunate child of hipsters, has been walking around for almost 15 years without documents. 
Senator Petrenko, when creating her bill, was guided by humane goals: children should not suffer from names that their parents, exalted to the point of inadequacy, come up with for them. “When giving an exotic name to their child, parents do not always imagine what difficulties their son or daughter may encounter, especially in a children’s group,” writes the author of the initiative in the explanatory note to the document. And looking at “Christamrirados”, Senator Petrenko, you seem to understand. 
In addition, it is also necessary to limit the fantasies of parents for the reason that ZAKS now formally cannot refuse registration of even the most idiotic names (BOCH rVF26062 is a rare exception). In this sense, recommendations not to call newborns “by numerical and alphabetic designations, numerals, abbreviations, indications of ranks and positions” seem justified. But what does it mean “the name cannot contain profanity”? To us, personally, it seems unlikely that parents would call their offspring a swear word... At the dawn of Soviet power, people, inspired by revolutionary changes, also gave their children unusual names - this seemed to them to correspond to the onset of a new era. Arvil (V.I. Lenin's Army), Vilyur (Vladimir Ilyich loves his Motherland), Vinun (Vladimir Ilyich will never die). There were the classic Dazdraperma (Long live the First of May) and the beautiful Dazdramygda (Long live the bond between town and village). There were, however, some names that stuck - Vladlen or Vladilen (Vladimir Lenin or Vladimir Ilyich Lenin) or, at least, that did not offend the ear: Rem - Revolution, Engels, Marx. But most of the “revolutionary names” turned out to be stillborn and people, growing up, tried to get rid of them (Zipanalda - Papanin’s wintering on ice or Trolebuzin - Trotsky, Lenin, Bukharin, Zinoviev). And the heroes after whom the babies were named could often turn out to be enemies of the people and bring trouble to their “godson.” One way or another, this fad soon faded away. But let's return to the excellent initiative of Senator Petrenko. Members of the State Construction and Construction Committee (this is not a typo, but my attempt to combine the incompatible in the name of the committee: “Committee on State Construction and Legislation”) have already stated that by the second reading the bill can be expanded and finalized. So much so that it will be prohibited not only to call children by numbers, but also by the names of months, for example. Although, what's wrong with the name Mai? But for some reason it seems that the Duma members, given their legislative itch, will not limit themselves to such trifles. They can, for example, introduce restrictions on the number of vowels or, conversely, consonants in a name. Otherwise, the very number of letters in the name is regulated. And it’s also interesting: what should we do in our fully Orthodox country with church names? There are also a lot of difficult-to-pronounce names and names that are questionable in terms of euphony. Asclepiades and Agathoclia, Exacustodian and Eutropia, Olympiodorus and Metrodora, Sosipater and Christodoulos, Ursikios and Shushanika. Also, you can’t really pronounce it the first time. Will they really ban it? And one last thing. Senator Petrenko and members of the Duma committee should not blame irresponsible parents so much. Our officials also do not shy away from sometimes giving someone a rare name. For example, Rosreestr employees not long ago tried to rename the sons of a high-ranking government official, Artyom and Igor, in their documents. As a result, instead of the first one, LSDU3 was obtained, and the second one received the name YFYAU9. However, this is a completely different story... The Juraev family, living in the Vladimir region, named their son, who was born on Sunday, January 29, in honor of the current Russian Defense Minister - the newborn was named Shoigu, RIA VladNews reports with reference to Informing. The boy was born weighing 3 kilograms 200 grams, height 50 centimeters. His full name is Dzhuraev Shoigu Khurmedovich. The name for the boy was chosen by his grandfather Rakhmon Juraev. He explained his choice as follows: “Sergei Shoigu raised the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry from his knees, so he deserves for my grandson to be named in his honor.” The Alexandrovsky Maternity Hospital noted that the baby is healthy and will soon be discharged home. Let us remind you that the newborn baby is a cousin of a 2-year-old boy from the same family, who received the name Putin in January. Previously, his name was Rasul, but then his parents changed the boy’s name according to his grandfather’s idea. Let us note that the Juraev family has been living in Russia for a total of seven years: two years in the village of Legkovo, Vladimir Region, and five in Moscow. Family members are from Tajikistan, but have Russian citizenship.

Often parents want to give their children a rare name, but they do not always succeed. Governments of many countries are trying to protect their newborn citizens from awkward situations in the future and even create lists of banned names. True, everyone’s criteria are different, and if in France you are prohibited from calling your child an offensive word, then in Saudi Arabia they will not allow you to call your daughter Queen, even if the word is not at all offensive.
In many countries, the laws governing baby names are based on a simple principle: the name should not sound like a curse word or an offensive word, and should not cause problems for the child in the future. However, in some states the ban may apply to quite ordinary names if they violate cultural traditions.
In this country, names must be traditionally Portuguese, clearly denote gender, and should not resemble nicknames. To make it easier for parents to navigate the rules, a special list of allowed names has been compiled.
- Banned names: Rihanna, Nirvana, Viking, Sayonara, Jimmy.
Germany
In Switzerland, as in Germany, the name must be approved by the Citizens Registration Office. You cannot use last names, names of biblical villains, brands or geographic places as names. Boys should not be given female names and vice versa. Any offensive, shocking, or laughter-inducing options are prohibited.
- Banned names: Cain, Judas, Brooklyn, Chanel, Mercedes, Paris (Paris).
Great Britain
Names that may harm anyone, exceed 100 characters, and resemble titles or ranks are prohibited. Therefore, for example, the name is prohibited Justice: the word not only means “justice”, but also serves as an address to judges.
- Banned names: ".", Fat Man, Lucifer, Jesus Christ, From Hawaii Talulah Dances Hula, Constable, Saint, Chief Maximus, 4real, Mafia No Fear.
China
Previously, in China it was impossible to name children after the current emperor. Today, the limitations are related to language: Chinese has 70,000 characters, but not all of them are machine readable. Accordingly, the name is selected so that it can be entered into a computer form.
