DAMN!! Saudi Arabia bans anyone from naming their children Linda: See Full List

Saudi Arabia has issued a list of 50 names new parents are banned from giving their children, including Linda, Lauren, Sandy and Amir.

The Arab nation's interior ministry justified the ban by saying the names either contradicted the culture or religion of the kingdom, or were foreign, or 'inappropriate'.

Among the others are Alice, Elaine and Maya and Binyamin, the Arabic name for Benjamin.

The names fit into at least three categories: those that offend perceived religious sensibilities, those that are affiliated to royalty and those that are of non-Arabic or non-Islamic origin
