(Tom, and Thor are on the approved list for names in Portugal.)
The above list is the only names you can choose for a child in Portugal, unless you get "special" permission from the Government - (which is hardly, if ever, granted)

Parents in Sweden named their kid that (pronounced Albin) because they failed to name that kid by his fifth birthday and were fined. As a sort of fuck you they tried to name him that but were denied lol. Then they tried to name him A, but that name was also rejected lol

Sarah is banned because of the spelling which is attributed to Hebrew, but Sara is fine since its the Arabic spelling \_()_/

Harriet (Iceland)

Also, this one is incorrect - it's now legal, it did take a legal battle of a year:
https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/victory-for-the-siblings-named-girl-and-boy-on-passports-a3283546.html

Iceland's name list, is even smaller than Portugal's- having only 1,853 female and 1,712 male names to choose from, although they've got rid of the naming committee, which is good.

There actually was an American soldier during WW2 named Adolph Hitler. Reportedly people suggested he change his name, he responded "Make the other guy change his.".

No but for the duration of the stay he would have to refer to himself as La Gris Lobo

Chief Maximus (New Zealand)

Specifically because of the "Chief" part. "Maximus" alone would be fine, if unusual.

Basically the rules here are that it can't resemble, or contain something that resembles, any kind of official title, unless there's a cultural reason for it. Same goes for anything potentially offensive (hence "Anal" being rejected), or anything that doesn't consist of at least a first name and a last name (but a middle name is optional).
