In Germany the registry office decides whether a first name may be entered. It must be recognisable as a first name and must not harm the child's wellbeing. Austria applies comparable criteria, and in Switzerland the civil registry decides. Luigina is rarer but meets the usual criteria. If in doubt, a phone call to the registry office settles it.
