Why not simply have a ban on names that are unpronouncable, offensive, in bad taste or obviously harmful? For example, feel free to name your kid a weird name like Zuyira or Tascamor or whatever else if you want, but not Zzzz or Titsamor. That would cut down on 99% of this nonsense.

Regardless of what power you might grant the state to enforce name protocols, I'm sure this piece of shit mother would have found another way to ruin their child's life in order to gather attention to herself.
You want to give the state power to make meaningful changes? Cut to the chase.
Bitch puts "Abcde" on the birth certificate and the state takes her child, then gives it to someone who's not a fucking idiot.

Names are a funny thing. As a programmer I have encountered lots of issues with it. It is easy to make all kinds of assumptions. Assumptions that should not be made. For example:
It is easy to assume a name contains at least two letters. But it turns out there are actually people who only have a name existing out of one letter. You might also assume a name is never longer than, for example 50 characters, but it turns out some names are a whole lot longer. One can also assume a name is written using the normal alphabet. But then it turns out some names are to be written using a different writing system.
It is also easy to assume people have a firstname and a lastname. But it turns out this is not the case. Some people only have one name. And you can assume people do have at least a name. But it turns out not everybody has a name. Some people be nameless.
We can discuss how a name ought to be. But not everybody in the world will agree to this.

Iceland already does this. They have a naming committee that has issued a list of approved names for newborns. These names have to meet a strict criteria, one of which is that it must sound "Icelandic" to the ear. Stupid names are routinely rejected by the committee and it's led to lawsuits.
There's something to be said for that, but that kind of compulsion would never go over in the US.

If you really want to cut to the chase, the country should declare single parenting by choice a form of child abuse and not allow single women to raise children alone.
Idiotic names are just the tip of a very ugly iceberg, as we all know. The problems with single motherhood itself and the larger culture it spawns have been gone over so many times there is no need to even get into that here.
But I will add two things.
First people are morons for buying the media's portrayal of "heroic single mothers." Logic tells us that if you can't pick a man or you can't get along with a man, you sure won't be making good decisions for your kid.
Second, whenever you bring this issue up, morons start saying stuff like "My father died (or left the family) when I was eight, and my mother raised us, blah, blah, blah." That's called being a child of a widow or divorcee, not a child of a single mother. There is a major difference in these categories, yet the media lumps all these women together.

I bet running that check is pretty easy in Germany nowadays.
"Hey Fritz, can you run a name check on Mohammed, we got another one!"
"Nein problemo Adolf, Mohammed is good to go!"
Aloha!
