Apologies if anyone's already mentioned this - but I think there are some countries where parents are required to choose from a pool of approved names. I seem to remember there being something in the news about an Italian couple who had named their daughter 'Tuesday' or something similar, but the courts ordered them to change it.

We have this in Denmark actually, but still, it does contain some questionable names. An example is Skat which means Dear or Honey. That is approved as a boys name.

I like the reference to 'Pataphysics.
There is a Beatles' song where they talk about 'Pataphysics but I don't remember which one.
