Banned names in Victoria, Australia .. some weird choices.

I hope I'm putting this in the right place. It came up on an official news site so ..... 

 

I thought their choice of banned names very interesting ... I mean, would anyone really name their child Satan?

I am Japanese, so I don't know anyone who named their child Satan.
But a couple tried to name "Akuma" which means "Devil" in Japanese.
It was reported very sensationally on TV, and their application was turned down.

I think there are weird people everywhere, though I cannot understand their mind.

Unfortunately yes, there are some really crazy people out there. One couple here recently tried to name their baby Adolf Hitler and they were denied.

Many of those are common in the United States

I remember an old article from 2009 about a man who wanted to add Jahve to his first name in the municipality where I live.

He wasn't allowed to do so since others could be offended since it's the name of God in the bible. 

He wasn't religious, he just thought it sounded nice
