G'day legends! 🇦🇺 Ever wondered what names you’re not allowed to give your baby in Australia? As an Aussie expat in the US, I’m always fascinated by the quirky rules that make Australia unique—and the banned baby names list is absolutely bonkers! From titles like "Princess" and "Admiral" to wild picks like "Nutella" and "Bonghead" (yep, someone tried!), Australia’s naming laws are stricter than you might think. In this video, I’m breaking down the craziest, funniest, and most unbelievable baby names that Aussie parents have actually tried to use—and why the government said NOPE!

Whether you’re an Aussie, an American, or just love weird cultural facts, you’ll get a kick out of these banned names. Drop the strangest name you’ve ever heard in the comments—let’s see if it would make the Aussie banned list! 😂
