Swedish parents win legal battle to name their children Lego, Elvis and Metallica

Couples have previously run into trouble with the names Ikea, Veranda, Metallica and the use of Elvis for a girl.

The Swedish Administrative Court of Appeals overruled an earlier decision to stop them naming their child after the brightly coloured plastic building blocks.

In Swedish law, offensive, unsuitable or inappropriate names are all forbidden, as well as names that could embarrass the people they are given to.

Lego's was just the latest in a series of cases in which the tax authority or County Administrative Court have questioned unusual names for youngsters.

A little girl from Stockholm called Elvis was not so lucky. The tax authority this week told her parents that the name was "of a masculine type" and therefore "clearly inappropriate".

However, the couple have protested the decision. "We talked about lots of names and then Elvis popped up," said Elvis' mother Linda.

"We thought it was a name that was pretty and gender neutral. We're not Elvis Presley fans at all."

Last year local officials in Goteburg reversed an earlier bar on the name Metallica. When Michael and Karolina Tomaro baptised their daughter, they wanted to honour their favourite rock band.

But when they tried to get little Metallica a passport, the tax authority objected.

Although the rules are designed to protect children from teasing, not everybody likes them.

In 1996 a little boy was named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced Albin) in protest at the law.

great thanks! =D lol it's so cool! the last sentence made me go like WTF.

/win

that's very old

Hahaha! That last sentence is epic.

xD awesome.

thats stupid. can't they make a point without sparing their children a lifetime of humiliation. just imagine what kind of lives they will have.

I read this last year as well :P

Why would anyone name their daughter Elvis?

I think I read once that two parents wanted to name their kid '4Real'. And also a case where a girl was named Temptress.

Oh yeah, i remember that shit, but it got denied because a name can't contain numbers or something, then they wanted to name him Superman. What a bunch of morons.
