Did you know that there is a list of names that cannot be registered here in Brazil? Learn more about the subject!

Whether at school, at work or even in our social life, everyone has met someone with a name considered a little strange, right? 

And although there are a number of names that may sound strange – and even give the impression that there is no rule preventing parents from using their creativity and common sense when naming their children – a limit has already been established regarding the names that can and cannot be given to children.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about in today’s content!

Throughout this text, you will discover that there are several names that cannot be registered in Brazil. In other words: if you have a son/daughter, these are the names that you are prohibited from registering for these children.

Why are there names that cannot be registered in Brazil?

Many people may not be aware of this fact, but Brazilian registry offices can refuse to register a child's name.

But what criteria should be taken into consideration when creating this type of obstacle? And why was this type of 'resource' created? 

Starting with the criteria: if the person responsible for the registration in question considers that the child could be harmed in the future because of the name chosen.

And it was based on this same principle that we arrived at the reason why this type of law was created.

This rule originated almost 50 years ago, in 1973. Federal law 6,015 – created that year – regulated this issue. 

According to the guidelines in article 5, the registry officer in question may intervene and deny the registration of a child's name if he or she assesses that the name in question may cause some type of embarrassment to the child throughout his or her life.

But despite being a necessary law, this procedure is not as simple as one might imagine.

In the next topic we will talk a little more about how this procedure works.

How does the process work in cases of names that cannot be registered in Brazil?

As we have already mentioned, this procedure is not necessarily an immediate process. Quite the opposite.

Below, we show you a little more about how this process works.

First, we have the appointment of the person responsible for the registration.

If the professional who is carrying out the registration comes to the conclusion that the name in question could cause any type of embarrassment, the registry clerk may question the parents regarding the choice of name.

At this stage, the professional is guided to present names as alternatives for the parents to choose.

If it is still not possible to reach a conclusion, the person responsible may refuse registration.

Of course, parents may disagree with this decision and appeal the refusal of the name. From that moment on, the decision is submitted to a judge.

And it is important to emphasize that this type of resource in relation to names that cannot be registered is not only linked to the issue of possible constraints that the name may generate.

The spelling of the name in question may also be a criterion used by the clerk to refuse to continue with the registration process. 

For example: in names where parents want to register the child with names with an excess of letters. In this case, the registrar can also contest the name.

And in cases where the name on the register is of foreign origin, the registrar may also request that the parents present proof of the existence of this name in other languages/countries.

If this question arises, it is only after verification that it is possible to continue with the registration process.
