That was in Sweden, which has naming laws. The US does not have similar laws.

The US doesn't have the same sort of naming laws that are common in European countries, but there are state-specific limits around what you can have in a legal name.

Specifically, in California, you cannot have diacritic marks in a name, which is part of why people were shocked that Musk was able to name his child X Æ A-12, when someone named Ramón Núñez will have their legal name as "Ramon Nunez" in California.
