Welcome to our virtual third place, The Café.
Come on in and make a new human connection over a cup of coffee (or Teh Tarik). This is a casual community, do whatever you want, share your oyen pics, your frustrations, and even organize a weekend picnic with the community. The world is your oyster.
Rules are simple, be kind and civil with each other. As with any other café, rude patrons will be kicked out.

No, they're all banned. Malaysia has a law that bans babies being given names that fall into any of the 22 categories on this list. For some reason they've grouped them into names that could cause legal issues (objectionable) and names that are seen as cruel (undesirable). They give some examples but it's not an exhaustive list. If a name is ruled to belong in one of these 22 categories, it isn't allowed.
Every country has really different naming laws so they're neat to read about.
