Choosing a baby name is usually a deeply personal decision, but parents do not always have complete freedom when it comes to registering that name officially. In New Jersey, certain first and last names can be rejected if they do not meet the rules set by the Civil Registry.
The restrictions focus on names that could create problems in official records, including choices containing numbers, symbols, obscenities or combinations that may be difficult for official systems to process, as per a report by El Cronista.
