The law expresses, however, that the decision may undergo review, taking the case to the competent judge. Furthermore, there is no list of prohibited names and definition can carry subjective contours. Names with insults or profanity are more tangible examples of prohibited registrations.

After the parents request that there be a review by a judge, the registrar must explain reasons that led to the refusal of the registration.

Your Jorge received support from Carlinhos Brownwho highlighted how “the word ‘Samba,’ before existing as a style for Brazil in recent history, already endures among families Wolof and baye fallnatural from Senegal.” The musician cited personalities who carry the name Samba and defended: “Samba It is also a beautiful name to give to people, especially those from Africa.”
