flag UK office sets guidelines to reject baby names that could cause harm or ridicule.

flag The UK Deed Poll Office has set guidelines to prevent parents from giving their children names that could lead to ridicule, confusion, or harm. flag Names with derogatory terms, explicit content, profanity, special characters, or honorifics like "King" or "Doctor" are likely to be rejected. flag Examples of rejected names include "Cyanide" and "Martian." flag The office does not have a banned list but assesses names case-by-case to ensure they comply with social norms and do not pose legal issues.
