Help[Opinions] Re: Two Swedish sets of triplets
in reply to a message by Malin
My first thought when I saw Messias was "aren't Swedish naming laws fairly strict?" Do you think it is meant to sound sacrilegious, or pious? There's no chance it's a printing error?
The first set is plain, but nice. The second set seems like an odd combination. But I love the look of Sofie.

Definitely no printing error. My qualified guess is that it was allowed because there already are four Messias in Sweden. Those four have probably moved here from another country, or taken the name as adults (laws for changing your own name aren't as strict), but nonetheless that opened up for allowing Messias on a baby. And I've got no clue if it's meant to be sacrilegious or pious, or if - which I think is rather likely - they just thought it sounded cool ...
