Baby Name Rules in Australia
Just remember, that there are rules when you are registering a name in Australia. It cannot be more than 50 characters for each part of the name, include numbers or symbols that can’t be easily said, contain characters not found in English, or include an official royal rank, such as Queen. You cannot register a name that includes punctuation within the name but a hyphen and an apostrophe are often ok! So La-La might get the thumbs up! You may like to refer to the full guidelines here.
