Have You Ever Thought of Naming Your Baby Santa Claus

Can you legally name your child Santa Claus? Believe it or not—no.

In this Liberty Roundtable Live short video, Sam Bushman explores a curious legal topic: banned baby names in the United States. From “Santa Claus” and “Jesus Christ” to “Adolf Hitler” and royal titles like “King” or “Queen,” U.S. courts have ruled certain names off-limits for birth certificates.

Sam discusses how naming laws vary from state to state, why some names are restricted, and the deeper importance of choosing a meaningful, respectful name for your child. With humor and insight, he challenges viewers to reflect on the significance of names and the responsibility parents carry when bestowing them.
