That sounds like a sensible rule; sometimes it must be difficult to identify a foreign name, though ... would Olivia count as foreign, or as a kre8iv spelling - if people do such things in Poland?

Polish parents would probably not be banned from naming their daughter Olivia anymore, since the laws have gotten more lax, but they would probably be discouraged from doing so by the name registry. Apparently, 205 girls were named Olivia in 2020, which is surprising, considering the low numbers of migrants, so maybe the law is getting more lax. Olivia would likely be perceived as pretentious and try-hard on a Polish girl, since the letter v doesn't occur in the Polish alphabet.
