Sweden>.name your kid budweiser or metallica.

Swedish authorities say parents can now name their newborns “Budweiser” or “Metallica” if they so wish.

For decades, Swedish tax authorities had banned parents from naming their children after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.

But tax authority spokesman Lars Tegenfeldt says the guidelines have been relaxed. He says “there is nothing negative about a name like Coca-Cola or McDonald's today. In the 1970s, maybe it was.”

Still, authorities are drawing the line at giving children swear words for names. And forget about naming your child God, Allah or Devil

My brother wants to name his first child, "Superfly Johnson" and that name includes the quotes. I suppose he really wants his future kid to hate him.

I guess for some the naming of the child isn't so much about providing the child with a suitable moniker, something that if it doesn't actually reflect an attribute of the child, at least provides the child with the basis for an identity but rather providing an outlet for their own (childish) predelictions and desires.

Seriously, instead of giving their child some outlandish name, why don't they pop down to Somerset House (or equivelant) and change their own name to whatever it is that so enthralls them?
