50 Baby Names Banned in Saudi Arabia<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why these names are banned in Saudi Arabia?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Civil Status Department had reported that some of the names were banned because they were not inline with “social traditions.” in the kingdom and the others were apparently banned because of religious connotations<\/p>\n

Names such as Elaine<\/strong>, Alice<\/strong> and Linda<\/strong> are not allowed anymore. According to the Ministry, most of the banned names are considered foreign and do not fit Saudi culture. Other names, considered “blasphemous”, are those with royal connotations. Not all banned names have an explanation for being banned and are open to speculations, writes the Independent.<\/p>\n
