Other Bits and Bobs:

Did you know: In Portugal there is a list of approved names, which is updated every year (Oscar was allowed for boys in 2001); you may only give your child a name off the list. Certain names are only allowed as middle names. If one parent is foreign, then foreign names may be allowed (but only if those names are official names in the country of the foreign parent). The list of permitted names is at www.dgrn.mj.pt/civil/dgrn_nom_admit_2000.pdf. There is a also a list of proscribed names: www.dgrn.mj.pt/civil/dgrn_nomes_nadmit_2000.pdf.
