A funny story is that my father's legal first name is Nil. He moved to the US in the late 70s. Computer systems in the 80s would register the input as null and he had to then temporarily change his name to include his middle name. Corner cases are fun.

He’s not the only one with a problematic name: https://www.wired.com/2015/11/null/

how about a first name with a dash in it (compound first names are very very common in France... Jean-Pierre, Jean-Bernard, Pierre-Alexandre, etc...) ?
