The Most Bizarre Names in the World

[00:01] have some very bad news for you. Unfortunately, you can't call it BRF Unfortunately, you can't call it BRF XXC XX MNP CC L M N XB C L M N C SL BL 1. Otherwise, it's a forbidden name. Because a couple in Sweden

[00:15] tried to name their son Albin as a form of protest, because the government refused to accept it when they tried to name him Albin, and also when they tried a second time to name him A. Then they tried that thing I just

[00:27] mentioned, and they obviously rejected it a third time. It might sound like an exaggeration, but I'm almost convinced that this is going to be the regular title of this video. Right here in Brazil, you don't need a bunch of random letters and numbers

[00:39] for a name to be bizarre, because we already have a list that includes Cardiac Collapse da Silva, Morgue Pereira da Silva, Aeronaut Cockroach, decade, Silva, Aeronaut Cockroach, decade, fever of '85. Oh no, man. Oh, no.

[00:52] How cruel. Rocanol Simonato. It is serious. All of these names were registered before 1988, because until that date you could use anything. But after refusing names that they felt might cause the child to be bullied.

[01:07] That's great, isn't it? Great. Too bad it was too late because there were already a lot of people with very creative names. Chevrolé da Silva Ford, Barribudinha Celeida, Esparadrapo Clemente de Sar. Okay, you might want something else, but I want

[01:22] adhesive tape instead. Poor Innocent. This is a great nickname to give to that friend of yours who plays the victim for everything that's innocent. Poor thing. Bizarre roast. Blue sky at sunset. Sometimes we just have to be less creative. Well,

[01:36] yeah, I can't judge anyone whose name my father was Lucinaldo. Lucinaldo is a common name somewhere. And if you know someone with a strange name, go to the doctor and the name of the person who was called appears on the screen? Well, here

[01:50] in Brazil we have records of Volverine Gustavo, Jesus of Easter. I liked that the person wanted to include two very important names and put Jesus and Wolverine on the same level. Riana Vitória. I found it quite normal compared to the others.

[02:03] I found it quite normal compared to the others. Britney Spears, Michael Jackson. But if you stop to think about it, some names work that way. For example, Walt Disney. Walt Disney is a completely normal name. Nowadays, I

[02:15] Vald Snake, who was the security guard at my school, not only was he security at he would show up at all the events in my city and provide security. He used to be security at a concert I went to and at a 15th birthday party . The great Walt Disney. We called

[02:29] complicated, you know? Well, Walt Disney came from Walt Disney, so you're making fun of Michael Jackson, but who knows, maybe in 50 years my school security guard will be named Michael Jackson. Ready. But when you try to do

[02:43] this kind of tribute, it can look beautiful, or it can go very wrong. Because when the Game of Thrones series was at its peak, there was a trend of naming children after a character. But things went so badly, because the mother of one of

[02:56] those girls decided to travel and wanted to take her daughter with her. For that, what did she need ? From a passport. But when she arrived at the government office, she said, said here: "No, because your daughter's name

[03:10] is copyrighted and you need authorization from Warner Brothers, who owns the series, so that we can print that name, otherwise we will be committing the crime of piracy." After a few battles, she

[03:22] , unfortunately, the trip was delayed [clearing throat]. But imagine not being able to use your name because of copyright issues? Knowing this, some parents dislike the idea of ​​a peculiar, flashy name, but some take

[03:35] the description a little too far. Like a couple who decided to name their son B. Yes, just the letter B. It's not BE, it 's not, there would only be the option of B, it's just the letter B. And they said it's so the child can choose their own name in the future.

[03:48] So, she'll be called B during childhood, and then when she turns 18 she'll be stop to think that maybe they could name the child something else, and Well, anyway, this is the

[04:00] idea for the child to choose, but have to be called B throughout their entire childhood. If the person's name is Bernardo, for example, then they give him the nickname B. If the person's name is already B, will the nickname become Bernardo? Ultimately, we'll never know.

[04:14] If you are Bernardo, comment here. The most prominent Brazilian name, however, is, hold on, I'll need to read it, Charlington Glaevion Bek Navaré dos Anjos Mendons. His nickname is xchá. And that's a good thing, because otherwise I would have to read his name every

[04:29] story. His father chose that name , but he never explained why, and I'd really like to know. Xchá said that it was always very difficult to live with that name, so much so that he even had to travel to Recife

[04:41] , because their system simply wouldn't accept that filling out documents, he would abbreviate everything. But despite this, the shasha has said in several interviews that he is proud of his name. Man, I would too

[04:55] name in Brazil, he's a very special person. Another person who is also quite proud of their name is kind of like Xaá, but with a much bigger record. He with a much bigger record. He surpassed the Xachá trophy with a name of 2253

[05:08] words. His name is Lawrence Watkins, and he changed it in 1992 after reading the entire Guinness Book of Records and deciding that having the longest name in the world was the only ? I think he could beat others, but that's okay. That's when he

[05:22] started with a plan. He paid a typist, which is basically a person who typewriter. It's a professional typist who types the full name he wanted, because even he didn't have the courage to type the whole thing. And securing

[05:35] because the government initially refused. But he didn't give up and went to court twice, eventually winning the right to have that gigantic name. And after that happened, they even changed the law to make sure no one would try to do the

[05:49] same thing he did. His name takes up seven pages on his birth certificate, his passport has six pages of just his name, and it takes 20 minutes to read that entire name. And even the priest had to do that on his wedding day.

[06:02] additional bonus, and obviously I'm going to try to read that name now. A alum aler andob

[06:17] mer aim e agora acabou a parte com a começa a parte com b e eu não vou mais ler não. But if there are people who like unusual names, they're famous. The most famous case is that of Elon Musk naming his son Xi A-1. But California didn't

[06:32] accept that because it had a number in the middle, as if that were the biggest problem. So they had to change it to X A- X and I, which is basically the same thing, just in Roman numerals. Gwen Patrol's daughter is called Apple, which

[06:45] means apple, the fruit itself. And Nicole Kidman has two daughters. One is called Fate, which means faith, very beautiful, but her other daughter is called Sunday. And they still say that mothers don't have favorite children. And because of these

[06:58] and other names, some countries have a list of banned names. For example, Robocop, which for some reason is banned in Mexico. Linda is a banned name, but not because it means beautiful. Yes, because in Saudi Arabia they think it's

[07:10] too Western a name. In China, you can't call yourself @, which is great, right? Because what would that person's Instagram profile look like ? @ or just @ In New Zealand, the name of the squid is prohibited, as is the Hawaiian squid. Because yes, someone had the idea

[07:25] to register that name. In France, a mother was forbidden from naming her daughter food so much that she wanted to pay homage to it. And then, after they banned it, she found the alternative of referring to herself simply as "she." Man, that was the name of my chicken

[07:38] a story, I can tell it real quick. Once I was traveling with my parents, I took a taxi, and the taxi driver was really nice, like, a really good person, and he family, about his children. Man, he had a lot of kids and he was like,

[07:52] "Oh, I have 12 kids, they all start with R, and then there's Ronaldo, Rogério, I couldn't think of [laughs] another name starting with that." And then at the end he named after a famous German president. His name is

[08:06] I hope so. And man, Brazilians are very creative, there's nothing better to do. things you use in your daily life and you do n't even know they were invented here. discover them all. Until the next video, and that's it."
