Discover the names banned in Brazil: Cadaver, Não Consta and more!

The choice of your son's name it's one of the most important decisions you'll ever make in shaping his identity.

But did you know that some parents are not taking this responsibility seriously? After all, the name you choose will stay with your child for the rest of his life, so choosing a meaningful and appropriate name is essential.

Unfortunately, there are still parents who opt for absurd and even forbidden names, such as Cadaver or Fulano de Tal.

Understand below how this occurs and what are the prohibitions when registering a child's name.

Law facilitates name changes in a simplified way

First of all, changing your name has never been easier! With the new Federal Law n. 14.382/2022, you can update your registration at the notary without unnecessary bureaucracy.

This modernization is crucial to raise awareness of the importance of our name's meaning.

That is, if you fit the list of people who were registered with a rather absurd name, you can now secure a new identity.

In addition, name changing can be a solution to avoid the bullying that some children suffer because of their strange and unusual names.

Certainly, this violence can have a negative impact on their school development and social relationships.

Names that have been banned for registration

The new law that is part of Public Records is a great advance for Brazilian society, as it prohibits certain names that are responsible for causing embarrassment or are prohibited.

It is important that notary clerks correctly follow the guidelines and carefully evaluate possible inappropriate nomenclatures.

This is because, not long ago, the subject took over on social networks with the names “Nonexistent”, in addition to “Cachorra” and also “Abortion”. Certainly, this situation generated a lot of anger among Internet users.

While it is regrettable that there are people willing to choose these names, it is essential that the responsible bodies guide parents or legal guardians on this issue.

With the growth of “vexatious” names, get to know the list of prohibited names

Although there is no official list, it is possible to see which were the last cases of denial.

Therefore, when choosing your baby's name or even making a change to your own name, consider the importance of choosing an appropriate and respectful name.

We know that this decision to choose a name is not easy, but you should consider this important tip: avoid embarrassing and inappropriate names!
