Can somebody legally name their new child just numbers?

Say somebody wanted to name their kid, "8251". Is that legally acceptable? Also, are there any people in the civilized world actually named "God", or "Satan"?
 
I saw an article where a judge in one state (I forget which one) ruled against the numbers thing.
Not sure about "Satan" and "God".

Incidentally, the guy was a social studies teacher trying to prove a point.
 
Satan used to (still does?) play for the Buffalo Sabres; pronounced "shuh tan"
 
No one has actually answered the original question about naming a child just numbers. AFAIK, yes you can name a child numbers, though I don't know why you would want to...

what about Optimus Prime? can you have a two word first name without a dash?
 
Wow...that's really a funny question! I never thought about it before...don't know if you could name a child with just numbers or not. Poor kid if ya did, though. I mean, come on, we all know that we are really just a number anyway - as it pertains to our job, the government, etc. LOL

I really hate seeing people who have goofy names...makes me wonder what the parents were thinking. I went to school with Charlie Brown, James James, and a few other kooky combinations. 😀
 
I read where a guy went to court to have his name change to a number. The judge ruled he would have to have the number spelled out. He could have his name to eg. 'Forty Two' but not '42'
