Why was my nickname for my Vanilluxe prohibited?

So, a Vanilluxe I had on my Pokémon Black was nicknamed ‘King Land’, as like the ruler of land (I know it’s a weird nickname but I like giving weird nicknames to Pokémon). Anyways, when I went to transfer it to my Pokémon Moon, it said the nickname it had was prohibited on the 3ds, and my 3ds changed it to its normal name. I’m super confused and would like to know why, because I don’t think it’s offensive or vulgar in any way so I would like to know why it was prohibited.Thanks!

Since it’s possible to evade the banned-words filter using spaces (you can spell out the words with spaces, like: “S W E A R”, “SWE AR”, etc, it seems like the game filters out spaces while checking if the Pokémon has a banned word in the nickname, and, so, the game will check if “KINGLAND"containsa banned word.

So far so good? Well, turns out “GLAND” (KINGLAND without KIN, just to be clear) is a banned word for its meaning in French. You can find it in Bulbapedia’s List of censored words in Generation VI. I’ll avoid linking it because of it’s nature, but you’re free to Google it if you’d like. :)
