In Denmark, families must follow a strict law when naming their children. Parents must choose from a list of about 7,000 approved names. Those who want a unique name for their baby must get approval from the government and their local church. But about 20% of these requests get rejected.
The law is meant to protect kids from embarrassing names and to preserve Danish culture. However, the strict law also does not allow unisex names, leading many to question whether the rules should finally change.
