student asking question

I know that naming its children is extremely important. But is there any forbidden name that you shouldn't give to your child?

There aren't really any names that are off limits as trends are constantly changing and names have become increasingly non-traditional and abstract in recent years. Some often cited examples are American actress Gwyneth Paltrow's daughter "Apple," and Tesla CEO Elon Musk's son named "X Æ A-12." However, generally, parents avoid naming their children slurs, curse words, and so on (this is also illegal in some countries).
