Rejected baby names (constant)

Rejected first baby names since the implementation of the 1995 bylaws created by Section 18(8) of the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act. Organised by Name, year, and gender of the proposed child to be registered.

Mitigating future applications of names already previously rejected for registration.

Allowing the public to easily access already rejected names instead of having to search year by year if the name they want to use has been previously rejected.

    This request sounds very relevant. Having a public list of rejected baby names would help many families before they register their child’s name. It could also provide insights into the most common reasons for rejection and how the 1995 Act is being applied. An open dataset like this would be valuable not only for parents but also for researchers and genealogists.
