Why is it surprising that they would ban the name?
Lucifer is not something that you would wanna saddle your kid with.
Which is sad because its a perfectly good name. It sucks that the word that means "Bringer of Light" came to mean "the Prince of Darkness", and it only due to a bunch of historic mistakes. Originally it just meant either of the two "morning stars" (Mercury, or Venus).
But the name is stuck with that false association with the devil.
"The name....would be most fearful of" that you're alluding to? If it's "Adolf" there maybe post war German laws about that name too.
