HelpRe: Naming laws?
in reply to a message by LuzDeTuVida
Unisex names can be used if the second name is clearly male or female. The surname rule is mostly for German surnames. I mean, no one would object to an Ashley or a Jackson for example because they're commonly used as first names in other countries.
I'm guessing word names like Faith and Hope would also be all right (I'm pretty sure of it), again because they're considered normal names in other countries. After all, Windsbraut went through, too. I'm not exactly sure where they draw the line here. I've never seen a source that goes into details.
Again, not sure about place names. Trenton or Verona would go through, Bad-Herrenalb or Clausthal-Zellerfeld wouldn't. It depends on the general usage, I'd say.
