In Finland, parents were banned from calling their children Voldemort. This decision was made by the Name Approval Commission, which operates under the direction of the Ministry of Justice. Euro-pulse.ru reports this.
In addition to Voldemort, such names as Eldorado, Jesus, Senator, Teflon, Yes, Table, Hammer, Bicycle and others were banned.
In Finland, there is a law on first names and surnames, according to which a name cannot be approved if it is offensive or humiliating to the child, or may cause problems for him in the future.
In addition, the law prohibits calling girls by established male names and vice versa. The first name should also not resemble the last name, except in cases where people have foreign roots.
