A naming law limits the names that parents can legally give to their children, usually to protect the child from an offensive or embarrassing name. Many countries around the world have such laws, with most governing the meaning of the name, while some just set the script where it is written.

Under the Law on Personal Names, first names are taken from a list of approved names (18,000 female names and 15,000 male names on January 1, 2016). You can also apply to Ankestyrelsen for approval of a new name, e.g. public first name from another country. Name must indicate gender, must not have a family name, and must follow Danish orthography (eg Cammmilla with three m ' is not allowed).
French
Since 1993 the choice has been free in France unless it is decided that the name is against the interests of the child. Prior to that time the choice of first names dictated by French law deciding which names were acceptable. Napoleon Bonaparte created the law. The law is supported by Eric Zemmour.
German
The name must be approved by a local registration office, called Standesamt, which generally consults with a list of foreign names and foreign embassies for foreign names. The name should indicate gender, it should not be a last name or product, and it can not negatively affect the child. If the proposed name is rejected, it can be appealed; if not, the new name must be submitted. Charges are charged for each shipment.

Tajikistan
Tajikistan authorities have announced preparations for a list of 3,000 previously approved names, all referring to Tajik culture, thus banning Arabic/Islamic names/endings, which are considered divisive.

The Tajik government has used the word "prostitute" to label the veil that wears women and shave a forced beard, in addition to considering banning Arabic-Islamic names for children and getting people to use Tajik names. The president of Tajikistan Rakhmon (Rahmon) has said that the Shahnameh epic of Persia should be used as a source for the name, with the proposed law hinting that Muslim names would be banned after anti-hijab and anti-beard laws.
United States
Restrictions vary by country, and are mostly charged for convenience. For example, some countries limit the number of characters in the name, due to limitations in the software used for the storage of official records. For similar reasons, some countries prohibit the use of numbers or pictograms. Some countries prohibit the use of dirty words. In contrast, some countries, like Kentucky, do not have any naming laws. The Court has interpreted the Process Clause Due to the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution and the First Amendment Free Speech Clause as generally supporting the traditional parental right to choose the names of their children.
One naming law that some consider limiting is California's ban on diacritical marks, as in the name of Josà ©  ©. The Vital Records Office of the California Department of Public Health requires that the name contain only 26 characters of the English alphabet. There is no law that limits the informal use of diacritical marks and many parents do this.
