[Opinions] Re: Swedish March BAs
in reply to a message by Bear
Yes, Sweden have naming laws. But they're not strict. You can name your kid Månstråle (moonbeam) or Lycka (happiness) if you want to. They are mainly there to stop stupid parents from using "names" as Heiaiondpndnwwin, Hitler-Stalin or McDonalds.

Yes, there are just these rules: no offensive names, no names that would clearly cause discomfort for the child, and nothing that just isn't suitable as a first name (such as obvious surnames and titles - so no Johansson or Prins. Less surnamey surnames like Lilja and Sander are all right).
