Experts say the name probably won't be approved by the state.
reported that while the unique name isn't technically illegal, it most likely won't be recognized by the state of California.
"In California, you can only use the '26 characters' of the English language in your baby name," family law attorney David Glass told the publication."Thus, you can't have numbers, Roman numerals, accents, umlauts or other symbols or emojis. Although an apostrophe, for a name like 'O'Connor,' is acceptable.
However, the couple will have the option of appealing the rejection, though Glass said that"it's unlikely that it will be granted." Why? Well, you can blame the limitations of California's records-keeping technology for that. According to him, while there was an attempt to change this rule in 2014, it was ultimately dropped due to how much it would cost to upgrade the state's computer systems to allows accents, umlauts, and certain other characters.
