Es hat schon seinen Grund, warum man sein Kind in Deutschland nicht Küchentisch, Autoreifen oder Fahrradkette nennen darf
There is a saying in Germany: "Kevin is not a name, it's a diagnosis."
"Kevin und Chantal, komm ma wech da vonne Regale und lauft nach Omma hin!"
@@janpracht6662 Und das wirklich Schlimme daran ist: Chantal ist eigentlich ein wundervoller, quasi aristokratischer Name!
"Mandy-Kevin-Chantalle-Jaqueline, hast du dein Zimmer aufgeräumt"
"Boah, Alder. Mach mich nicht Hauptschule, Mann!"
I think of River Jude Phoenix the former actor and his brother Leaf Phoenix also an actor who changed to his now known name Joaquin Phoenix.
If you look at the names of the siblings, Rain Phoenix, Summer Phoenix, Jodean Bottom, Liberty Phoenix, you recognize a pattern that comes from the parents.
Children are not always happy with the names they are given by their parents.
The choice of names says something more about the intelligence and foresight of the parents than about the child itself.
The German authorities have the child's name in mind when approving children's names and thus protect them from the stupidity of their parents.
I guess it is not very smart to give your kid the name Batman, Terminator, Maracúja or Nutella (even it is legal in some countries)- one day the kid has to go to school and will then go though hell... 😢
It is absolutely correct for Germany not allowing parents to ruin their childrens names for the sake of their self-fulfilment. Names such as "Peaches", "Rock" or "Reed" are not proper for children.
For the non-gendered names, you can choose a middle name to clear up the matter. Many Kids in Germany are named Eike. It is a male first name in northern Germany but a female first name in the Rhein region.
As far as I know, there is no actual rule or law that you have to choose a gender-specific name. The usual thing is that people choose a middle name that makes it more "clear" because they're told it's what they should do but I think it's more of a recommendation.
Some children need to be protected from the stupidity of their parents.
Man könnte sich ja präventiv an seinen Kindern rächen, indem man sie Hirngrieth, Strunzhilde, Pansenfred, Eiterschosch... nennt.
Gerade das möchten die Ämter verhindern.
Strunzhilde und Pansenfred just made my day 😀
Ich habe bei mehreren Leuten Versucht den Doppelnamen Sabine-Maja vorzuschlagen, aber wollte keiner machen.
You shouldn't name your child Claire if your surname is Grube, because it sounds like Klärgrube (septic tank).
😂😂
European countries are civil law jurisdictions whereby changing names at birth, unless idiotic or offensive, is virtually impossible. The only change of name that can take place is to for a married woman to change her name to her husband's surname if she so choses, but her maiden name always appears on her national ID card or passport. This is also the reason why idiotic or offensive names are not allowed and are listed, and thanks God for that. You are coming from a common law jurisdiction where every Karen, Tom, Dick, and Harry can change her or his name by a simple deed poll, a paradise for crooks who wish to reinvent themselves every Monday of Friday. Moreover, in most common law jurisdiction, national ID cards are not issued to the population, but in Europe, it is mandatory in almost all countries and is a big deal because without it, one literally doesn't exists.
I can’t tell for other Eurooean countries, but a change of your name is straightforward in Sweden. You can change your first name(s) as many times as you like, provided you pay the 250 SEK fee each time. You don’t need to keep any of the previous names.
Man möchte halt verhindern, dass jemand Schantalle Schackeline Brunzbichler heißen muss...
Mercedes was the name of Emil Jelineks daughter . He named a car after her . That´s were the name of the cars come from .
There is no list of names that are not alllowed.
The name has to show gender but it is not so strickt, names that can be both gender are allowed. like Kim or Eike.
It is up to the person in the individual Standesamt.
Might be that a name would be allowed in the one office but would get denied in another.
I wonder what name you can’t name your kid a guy with a moustache
That's funny because my family and others be thinking of crazy names 😅
Kevin is not a typical German name. It is a foreign name from the English speaking world that made it into our society and language. The female equivalent would be Chantal. However, Kevin, Chantal and certain other names derived from other languages and countries were used mainly be families from a problematic social background. The likes of Kevin und Chantal were often causing problems in kindergardens and schools. Hence there is a saying in Germany now, that Kevin isn't a name, it is a diagnosis.
In the Netherlands you should 'avoid' Johnny and Anita.
many of my friends do actually have gender neutral names like kim, kai/y, alex etc, thats normal in germany
Almost nobody is literally named "Alex". Almost all Alex are formally named Alexander or Alexandra. I've never encountered a male person called "Kim" or a female person called "Kai" (with the exception of a female from Japan where the name was pronounce kaa-i). Afaik if you name your Child e.g. Kai, you have to give them a second first name as well. Second first names are however very commonly ommited so even if you know people with both their first and no second first name chances are good that they have one. That said yes, in daily life there are plenty of gender neutral call names.
@@nacaclanga9947 ok, that is true for most alexes, but i didnt make that up, i do know german people of both genders with the names kim and kai or kay, one of my best male friends name is kim (and his second name is the more female version of another non gendered name: dominique)
Good to see you here. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
thanks so much!!
As a German myself I recommend not naming ur kid Alexa, trust me
literally my sisters name, named before the rise of the assistant, wich my parents do use at home and it is complicated 😅
Das Leben geniessen 👍. Familie von mir hat in Winnipeg gelebt. Von Deutschland/ Schweiz ...30 Jahre Urlaub in der USA nach Thailand. Hier sind die Dinge die gut für Herz und Seele sind 💝
it is also bad when your name is Karen or Karin if you live in USA. It is the scandinavic shortfom of Katharina
❤❤❤😅😅😅
What about a name like Shanda Lear
Great Video! :)
I wonder why they don’t respect the names Jacquelynn or Vanessa. There’s nothing wrong with those names. Also a shame about the name Kevin because it’s a perfectly fine name.
There is nothing wrong with those names. It's just how humans work. They form stereotypes without logical reasons. And that's no German thing. What's wrong with the name Karen? Absolutely nothing. Yet a majority of US Americans have a certain association with that name. What's so average about guys named Joe? Humans are hardwired to find patterns. In the 80s (and since) the movie "Home Alone" was very popular in Germany. I guess, the smart protagonist kid named Kevin led many parents in Germany to name their babies Kevin. More boys named Kevin means, the probability meeting boys named Kevin is higher, meaning the probability of meeting an annoying boy named Kevin is higher. Pattern recognized... Stereotypes follow no logic, and I think are not predictable.
The problem is that after "home alone" many lower class people named their child Kevin. And when you hear 100,000 "Kevin" swears by lower class parents on the playground, you save that in your head. Same in schools. Before 1990, Kevin was a (rare) name without prejudices (people mostly named their son Kevin because of a famous soccer player in the 1970/1980s).

Seems to me if you're on government welfare, the government should name your child. That might incentivize some people to rethink their choices.
Yeah, because it's only people on welfare who give their children names like Techno Mechanicus, X Æ A-XII or RZA and Riot Rose.

Back in the late 1980's I wanted to name my daugther Damerica. The authorities said that name was not in their books and it would not be allowed. The military was reasignning me back to the USA in a few months and I did not want to make a name change for her when I returned. So I requested a court hearing and won. I was told after the hearing that the name Damerica would be added to the books.
Your poor daughter will never find a Souvenir with her name on it.
