El Salvador has a list of illegal names. For instance you can’t name your second child “Segundo” (second) even though lots of people are named that including the murdered priest Segundo Montes. Another illegal name is “Tonto” because in Salvadoran slang it means stupid.

Shocking! I didn't know that Obama would have a precedent for restricting the use of names!
