    So from a related article seems Matti is banned in Germany as it's not clear what sex it is.

    Silly really look at "Fran" here .. surprised with Germany - I thought they dropped the whole Big Brother shíte back in 1945..

    There are quite a few Names that you can't give your kid in Germany, but Matti is not one of them. In fact it has been one of the most popular names (as in the Top 100) in the last few years.
