Sweden relaxes rules on giving kids unusual names
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) — Swedish authorities say parents can now name their newborns “Budweiser” or “Metallica” if they so wish.
I guess it makes sense, being that both would be instrumental in the making of the tiny little future serial killer/church arsonist.
For decades, Swedish tax authorities had banned parents from naming their children after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.
Those laws were created after the country’s embarrassment in the 1976 Olympics after the Swede’s silver medal volleyball duo of Schlitz Koontz and AC/DC Baarg showed up to the finals absolutely trashed and they both were wearing overalls and spitting chew all over the sandy court.
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.”
There wasn’t much of a stigma with Coke during the 70s, but people apparently weren’t as open to soft drinks and clowns.
Still, authorities are drawing the line at giving children swear words for names. And forget about naming your child God, Allah or Devil.
What about douchebag? Is that a swear word? What’s the actual cut-off? Would they actually make a distinction between bitch and beeyatch? Maybe we’ll never know. Either way, I still like hot cocoa.
