Argentina bans extravagant baby names under old law
Argentina restricts baby names under Law 18.248, dating to the 1880s. Clerks block names deemed extravagant or political while allowing only listed or Hispanicized options. Notable cases include attempts to name children Kennedy or Democracy, with appeals to civil court and the Supreme Court. The civil registrar’s office reports about 15 petitions weekly.
