Hopefully someone will add the reason for Lithuania.
Iceland:
Parents are limited to choosing children's names from the Personal Names Register, which as of 2013 approved 1800 names for each gender. Since 2019 given names are no longer restricted by gender. The Icelandic Naming Committee maintains the list and hears requests for exceptions.
New Zealand: Below is a list of banned names in New Zealand:* [Asterisk], 4Real, 89, Anal, Bishop, Constable, H-Q, II, III, Justice, Justus, Knight, Lucifer, Mafia No Fear, Minister, Mr, Queen Victoria, Royale, Saint, Sex Fruit, Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. Note I suspect * is special because I think it is a is placeholder in the Dept. Internal Affairs for none (I had an acquaintance that changed their name to a single word and the asterisk appeared in their surname field officially - also see http://wookware.org/name.html http://wookware.org/name.html )
And hilariously Australia had this girl called Methamphetamine Rules recently: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/19/can-you-name-your-baby-methamphetamine-rules-in-australia https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/19/can-y...
