Some are foreign names/words, some are locations, some refer to pop culture, and so forth.

Many of the no-no names are simply in the wrong form (according to the government). For instance, parents can use…

Aarão, but not Aaron

Agata, but not Agatha

Baltasar, but not Baltazar

Daisi, but not Daisy

Dulce do Amparo, but not Dulce Amparo

Kévim, but not Kevin

Hervé, but not Hervê or Herve (reminds me of the Zöé controversy)

Maria de Lurdes, but not Maria de Lourdes

Martina, but not Martine

Mónica, but not Monique

Nuno, or Nuno de Santa Maria, or Nuno do Carmo (Carmelite), but not Nuno Álvares.
