You can’t call your kid Facebook in Mexico! These are 12 illegal baby names from around the world
Parents are banned from calling their kids Sex Fruit, Traffic and even Tom
WHEN it comes to naming their babies, some parents have some fairly wacky ideas.
Yesterday, we revealed some of the daftest monikers kids are saddled with, including Kimoynce and Chandalier.
But all over the world there are baby names that have been outlawed - ranging from the weirdness of Circumcision to the totally inoffensive Tom.
Here are eleven of the illegal baby names from around the world.
The state of Sonora in Mexico had a trend of parents giving their babies silly names and had to pass a law banning names which are "derogatory, pejorative, discriminatory or lacking in meaning". Facebook was one of the monikers banned
Metallica
A Swedish couple were denied a passport for their daughter after naming her after their favourite rock band.
Circumcision
It may be beyond belief that anyone would even consider calling their child this, but it’s banned in Mexico.
Traffic
This one is banned in also banned in Mexico.
Tom
Hard to believe anyone could find this classic name offensive but apparently the Portuguese authorities are not fans.
They have banned nicknames from birth certificates, meaning Tomas is allowed but Tom isn’t.

Food lovers in Australia may have taken their culinary passion too far if the government hadn’t banned this one. In case you haven’t worked it out it’s basically “pie and sauce.”

Even if baby is a whopper you can’t saddle it with this fast food tag if you live Down Under.
Sex Fruit
This charming moniker is one of 77 banned in New Zealand.
4Real
Someone in New Zealand actually wanted to call their kid this – for real. Luckily this is also banned.
Akuma
This one sounds quite pretty, granted. But Japanese parents are not allowed this one because it literally means “The Devil.”
The Termininator
