The 89 names parents are banned from giving their babies in Australia

What’s in a name? In some cases, it’s enough to make it “illegal”.

A list has been compiled of 89 names, which cannot be bestowed on children born in Australia.

And while some names on the list might seem like the usual suspects, there are a few surprises.

While each Australian state and territory has its own Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act, the names are examples of those banned nationwide under Australian naming laws.

Names cannot be offensive or obscene, resemble an official rank or title, are too long or contain symbols, numbers, or punctuation marks, and names which could be considered misleading.

Sunrise presenter Edwina Bartholomew dived into the list of taboo titles on Thursday.

“It’s a tough decision for any parent: what to name her new bundle of joy,” Bartholomew said.

“Now, there’s been a list of the banned baby names in Australia revealed.

“They include a whole list of official titles and ranks including Admiral, Duke, and Baron with one R.

“Marshal is also banned but I know a Marshall with two Ls.

“Ranga. Thong. You can’t have a little thong, which is a shame. You also can’t have a little Cyanide.

“You also can’t have a Ned Kelly. Also, no more than 50 characters long.”
