That’s completely normal in many countries, Germany for example doesn’t let you pick offensive or clearly-bad names for the child. You can’t call your kid Hässlich (Ugly) for example. You can also not use X12-Whatever-Allowed-In-US.

But apart from that, there’s no list, you can invent names.

Yes, but a veto over an offensive name is different from choose-only-from-allowlist.
