In Finland you are required by law to name your children one of the 100 approved Finnish boy or girl names (there is an exception for ethnic minorities) Imagine such a law in UK or USA. Finland is a bit more "special" than other countries.

  5 seconds of googling reveals that this is bullshit. I didn't even need to resort to google translate: https://almanakka.helsinki.fi/en/name-days/finnish-names-act.html https://almanakka.helsinki.fi/en/name-days/finnish-names-act...

    Did you even bother reading what you linked? > A name which is in form or spelling contrary to Finnish naming practices is also not permitted.

      That's a far cry from the "100 approved names" you claimed, and not uncommon in Europe.

      Yes, that's true. And yes, you can come up with a completely new name. No, it can't be "Cupcake" or "Xyzzy". Your claim of a pre-approved list is false. Please don't make stupid claims when you don't know better.
