My brother lives in Denmark and apparently there's a government approved list of names you can choose from. Any deviation from that list need to be supported by showing you have personal/family/religious connection to the name. The stated intent is to protect children from parents hell-bent on make their kids lives difficult through embarrassing names (a boy named Sue?) but it effectively squashes any creativity in naming and maintains Danish tradition (Every third kid's name is Hans or Jens.)
Would Peekaboo Street be nearly as famous if her name was Betty Street?
