Requests received from ASAN Service centers make it clear that parents want to name their babies “Ingilis (English)”, “Frunze”, “Newton”, and “Galileo”.
“We put a definitive ban on these names,” said Sayali Sadiqova, adding that about 200 names alien to our language – mostly borrowed – have been banned over recent years.
The deputy chairperson said there is a need for a special dictionary of names.
“It would be very nice to have a dictionary of names. And that would be helpful for registration departments, too,” she said.
