I don't think my country has any strict laws, other than stuff like "it must use the Latin alphabet" and it just can't handle special accents. It's not that they aren't allowed, the system just doesn't want to figure out how to incorporate other language's syllabics. There was a news story about that a few years ago, where an Indigenous baby's name was put into the system incorrectly because vital stats doesn't recognize multi-part first names and indigenous syllabics.

I think my government should try harder to incorporate multicultural naming styles, especially since they loudly congratulate themselves for being so respectful of diversity.
