Its a similar problem to people having names that are considered "fake". I shudder what people actually named Harry Potter or James Bond have to go through regularly.

Also, I dont see any sense in actually enforcing any of those lists. I always think about the "Journey of Life" in The Grand Tour, which, frankly, is completely inoffensive in any other language than english https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLXe2WTYngQ

I live in Wedding, pronounced "Vedding". It was weird for about the first week, then it never really occurred to me again. I'm sure the people who live in Fuck have the same, right up until they have to fill in their address online.
