Good morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
In 2007, a Swedish couple fought to have their daughter named "Metallica"
after the metal band. Tax officials determined that the name was "inappropriate",
but an Administrative Court ruled there was no reason to block the name,
stating that a Swedish woman already uses the middle name Metallica.



Sweden enacted a “Naming Law” in 1983 which requires approval of the names
given to Swedish children.

Interesting...big brother/big sister. Joy, we are going to have to take this into consideration another thread you are involved in Octo 1, Octo 2, and so on.

Seriously, though I once saw a woman name her twins Sonny 1, for the son, and Sunny 2, for the girl.

I have an In-law nephew Doctor who used to be a Emergency room Doctor.
People would have babies and not have a name picked out. They would see
something in the room and name their baby. My favorite was Kleenex.
