Naming Rules in Belgium

Belgium has very few naming restrictions since a 1987 law liberalized the system. The civil registrar can refer potentially harmful names to a public prosecutor, who can then ask a court to block the name. In practice, nearly all names are accepted unless they could clearly damage the child's interests.
