Huh. That's interesting and very different from here. Here you pick a name and tell the hospital what it is (and how to spell it). They fill out the form and send it in. Barring something involving numbers, that's pretty much it. I think they have said numbers aren't okay.

So you do have gender neutral names in your culture, they just have to be paired with a gender name. Okay, would it help to think of it like this: The name you see is only their first name. The second name is the gendered one, but you don't know what it is.

Thank you for explaining that to me. It's interesting to me. So does this Standesamt reject other names, such as if "Bob" was the name of a horrible serial killer (sorry, Uncle Bob, you and your name are awesome, but it's also super easy to think of), they would tell the parents Bob is not an option?
