Personally, I like the sound of Alan Barkbark Tweedle McCoy Leisten.
Or, if they were Freepers, they could name him Stand Watch Leisten.

More of that Scandanavian socialist freedom I've heard so much about.
Although its not much different here. I wanted to name my son Moosiesisterbiter, but my daughter held her breath until she turned blue, and my wife withheld sex from me for five whole minutes...

The tax authority, which oversees rules for names in the Scandinavian country of 8.9 million... Scary.

That is Scary! The gov. tells you what you can and can't name your child there!?!?!?! We have names here in the south that would knock your socks off.... A girl named Pajama pronounced Pa-zja- may. Vagina prounounced Va-zjin-ay. Shithead prounounced Sha-theed.

So, let me get this straight - in Sweden you have to run your new baby's name past the tax authority to see if the government likes it? How does this work? Does one submit three choices, and the government gets to pick? What the hell is the purpose of such a government bureaucracy? To make sure that parents don't name their children is such a way as to possibly damage their little self-esteem later in life????

It might be the case that the tax authority issues the social security numbers for all kids to make sure they are born free but taxed to death.

It's not as bad as it sounds, and this was the problem, you just need two or more 'j's, 'h's, or omlotts, and the name is approved.
