In most countries of continental Europe, I believe. It basically bans names that can be considered disgracious, ridiculous or harm the child. I know Americans see this as a massive violation of parents' rights to name their kids whatever they want, but IMHO it preserves the child's right to have a more or less decent name, while stopping some parents to express a whim, rather than a human right (because no one can convince me that someone names a child God Lucifer or LaPimp because they genuinely believe that will be a great name for their baby).
Some countries actually have prescribed lists of allowed names, that's too restrictive even for me.
