What’s in a Name?

Ok how weird is this.

I’m filling out the Birth Registration Form for Lina, and this is what it says:

Naming a child is a matter of choice. For your child’s surname you can use the mother’s surname, the father’s surname, a combination of the two or any other surname. You man not choose a name that is obscene, offensive, unreasonably long or contrary to public interest.

What kind of rule is THAT?

But perhaps the real question is, how come I haven’t heard of any strangely named people?
