71 names so awful New Zealand had to ban them: What were these parents thinking?
You thought “Apple” and “Facebook” were bad?
Some New Zealand parents were getting so creative devising unique names for their newborns that the country’s Department of Internal Affairs has stepped in to stop the shenanigans.
New Zealand released an official list of rejected names on Wednesday that includes “4Real,” “Mafia No Fear” and “Anal.” Other gems — like “.” and “*” — didn’t even bother with the alphabet. All of the names on the list were at some point proposed by parents, soon to be rejected by the government, which deemed the names too offensive.
In some cases, parents appeared to have lost any inspiration for coming up with a moniker for their offspring, naming the family’s latest addition simply “2nd”, “3rd” or “5th.”
The department has also forbidden names that might imply a child holds an official title or rank. That’s why requests to call children “King,” “Duke” and “Princess” have been turned down repeatedly since 2001.
New Zealand isn’t the only country where you have to have your baby name approved. CNN reported Sweden has also axed names like “Superman” and the inexplicable “Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116.”

She pronounced it "ab-SEE-dee."
"ab-SEE-dee" 
Isn't that a fungus?
Probably comes down to regional preferences. 
I have met women named Vagina, Edema and Angina.
and thought it "sounded pretty". 
Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus, Septimus, Octavius, Nonus, and Decimus don't sound too bad. I have actually known women named Octavia. Also Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, Carolina, Missouri, Arizona, and Dakota. 
probably best known for his role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
Schuyler, Rensselaer, and Yearby on my mom's side. And names like DeVaulter & Herrick, on my dad's. And that's just direct male ancestors. I found names like Averilla, Lettice, and Willanelle(from before the Revolution, believe it or not)for female ancestors.
Faith, Hope, Charity are the big ones, but women have been long saddled with the names Patience, Constance, Chastity, and even Temperance.
Plus, Cher had a movie out in 1969 called "Chastity" (written and produced by Sonny Bono) -- the same year their daughter was born. So it may have been primarily for promotional purposes...
Sterling Gunn
Not only to have a name like that but to also end up a cop.
