These are the baby names you won’t be able to give your baby. Some of them are just plain whacky while others might be surprised to see their own baby’s name on the list!

The list of banned baby names may come off as offensive or obscene. Each of the names on the list were names that parents had actually tried to give their babies at some point, and now join the short list of names that are banned around the world.

In Australia, the Registrar can refuse to register a birth name in circumstances including any of the following:

    It is obscene or offensive
    It cannot be established by repute or usage because it’s too long or contains symbols (such as an exclamation mark).
    It is displayed in the form of initials or acronyms
    It creates confusion in the community
    It contains an official title or rank recognised in Australia
    It may be considered reasonably likely to insult, humiliate, offend or intimidate a person or group.

How popular is Judas?


In 2018 the rare name Judas, ranked the 5,379th Most Popular Boys Name in the United States.

Uncommon, Judas would be a striking name choice.

Its highest popularity RANKING of #3794 was reached in 1975.

However, the name was bestowed upon the greatest number of babies in 2016 with 23 occurrences.

The least number of children given the name Judas was less than 5, most recently in 1992.

Decidely upward trends in the number of babies given the name Judas occurred roughly during the years 2000-2004.

For a number of years, the name Judas has been moving upward in popularity. , continuing the trend, the number of children named Judas lately has risen.

What does the future hold for the popularity of Judas?

Overall, when compared to its most prominent year, the name's popularity is at a high point.

The name Judas is mostly unused but will probably continue to rise upward in popularity.

Yes, Bobby, we know that.

In his "Book of Heroic Failures" Stephen Pyle tells of a baby who was christened 'Blue Murder'.

Maybe he cried a lot...

so what happens if you try to call your kid adolf hitler

would 'heinrich himmler' be acceptable

Standing on the deck Father Rothschild leant his elbows on the rail, rested his chin in his hands and surveyed the procession of passengers coming up the gangway, each face eloquent of polite misgiving.

Very few of them were unknown to the Jesuit, for it was his happy knack to remember everything that could possibly be learned about every one who could possibly be of any importance. His tongue protruded very slightly and, had they not all been so concerned with luggage and the weather, some one might have observed in him a peculiar resemblance to those plaster reproductions of the gargoyles of Notre Dame which may be seen in the shop windows of artists' colourmen tinted the colour of 'Old Ivory', peering intently from among stencil outfits and plasticine and tubes of water-colour paint. High above his head swung Mrs Melrose Ape's travel-worn Packard car, bearing the dust of three continents, against the darkening sky, and up the companion-way at the head of her angels strode Mrs Melrose Ape, the woman evangelist.

'Faith.'

'Here, Mrs Ape.'

'Charity.'

'Here, Mrs Ape.'

'Fortitude.'

'Here, Mrs Ape.'

'Chastity.... Where is Chastity?'

'Chastity didn't feel well, Mrs Ape. She went below.'

'That girl's more trouble than she's worth. Whenever there's any packing to be done, Chastity doesn't feel well. Are all the rest here--Humility, Prudence, Divine Discontent, Mercy, Justice and Creative Endeavour?'

'Creative Endeavour lost her wings, Mrs Ape. She got talking to a gentleman in the train.... Oh, there she is.'

'Got 'em?' asked Mrs Ape.

Too breathless to speak, Creative Endeavour nodded. (Each of the angels carried her wings in a little black box like a violin case.)

'Right,' said Mrs Ape, 'and just you hold on to 'em tight and not so much talking to gentlemen in trains. You're angels, not a panto, see?'

The angels crowded together disconsolately. It was awful when Mrs Ape was like this. My, how they would pinch Chastity and Creative Endeavour when they got them alone in their nightshirts. It was bad enough their going to be so sick without that they had Mrs Ape pitching into them too.

Seeing their discomfort, Mrs Ape softened and smiled. She was nothing if not 'magnetic'.

'Well, girls,' she said, 'I must be getting along. They say it's going to be rough, but don't you believe it. If you have peace in your hearts your stomach will look after itself, and remember if you do feel queer--sing. There's nothing like it.'

'Good-bye, Mrs Ape, and thank you,' said the angels; they bobbed prettily, turned about and trooped aft to the second-class part of the ship. Mrs Ape watched them benignly, then, squaring her shoulders and looking (except that she had really no beard to speak of) every inch a sailor, strode resolutely forrard to the first-class bar.

It was a fairly common name at one time.

I had a relative called Honour.
