Trademark on people names?

Seven years ago, a UK born kid was named Loki Skywalker Mowbray. The family was planning to travel to the Dominican Republic and applied for a passport, and the UK Home Office denied the passport because Skywalker is a Trademark of Disney. Same thing happened a few weeks earlier, when a six year old girl named Khaleesi got her passport denied.
Loki got his passport issued, it is said. And I'm baffled that anyone in the Home Office would think that's an acceptable course of action.
