These Baby Names Are Now Banned In Arkansas

What's in a name? Actually..a lot. There is a ton of thinking about names on the parents' part as they give their bundle of joy an identity the child will use its entire life. Some parents don't have to think too hard about names.

They might have family names that have been handed down through the generations. Parents might use the name of someone special in their lives that they want to honor.

Or you might be one of those parents who want to push the envelope and name your child something trendy or a word you made up. But there are a few names that you have to stay away from if you live in Arkansas. Some of these names are banned all across the county and others just here in the Natural State.

Some names are banned in the U.S. so it's a good idea to start with these.

Here are a few names that are Big No No's and for good reason. According to USbirthcertificates.com, a few names have been deemed illegal or banned by courts here in the states.

 Jesus Christ or Messiah

Because there is only one. Need I say more?

Santa Claus

Who doesn't love Santa? But to name your baby after him? He would be destined to play the part every year whether he wanted to or not.

Aldof/Aldoph Hitler

Did someone really think that naming a sweet baby after one of the most evil men in history was a good idea? It seems that someone did try and the courts said....'No'. This is a Big No for obvious reasons.

@ As In 'At' and III

This is not a name it's a symbol. Prince tried it and remember all we could say he was 'the artist once known as Prince'?

King or Majesty

Queen

Arkansas Has a List of Names That Are Banned Too.

According to thebump.com, in Arkansas, you can use apostrophes, hyphens and spaces in a name, but not consecutively. Arkansas' state computer system will freak and spit out these names:

Baby, Baby Boy, Babyboy, Baby Girl, Babygirl & Infant

and last but not least....

Seriously? Why would someone ever want tp name their baby Void?
