N.J. Admin. Code § 8:2-1.1 - Purpose and scope
These rules create the record of live birth and the Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth. The rules also permit the parents, at the time of birth, to choose any name for their child without restrictions, except for names which contain obscenities, numerical characters, or symbols. The rules set forth the options open to a parent in the naming of the child, and in the event of a stillbirth, the option not to name the child, and clarify whom the informant of the birth information should be.
