What to know about banned baby names in America?

Every year, millions of babies are born and given names in the United States, however, there are allegedly some names or naming customs that are outlawed at the state level.

According to reports from 2020, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and artist Grimes found this out when they attempted to name their newborn kid X A-12 in the Golden State.

According to an earlier Fox News Digital article, the couple changed figure 12 in the name to the Roman numeral XII, which is permissible and in conformity with California state law.

According to The Bump, a parenting news website, California also prohibits the use of pictographs, emojis, and offensive or insulting names, as well as limits the length of names to 26 characters in the English alphabet.
