What Are The Rules For Naming Your Baby?

When it comes to naming your baby, you might not be aware that some states have certain rules and requirements.

Some states, like Alabama, let you give your child any first or last name, even if it doesn't match the mother or father. Other states like Minnesota have a character limit of 150 for baby names, which means John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt is fair game.
