Couple Names Child “Brfxxccxxmnpcccclll Mmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116″
Because the parents (Elizabeth Hallin and an unidentified father) failed to register a name by the boy’s fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents.
Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was “a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation.” The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of ‘pataphysics.
The court rejected the name and upheld the fine. The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced /ˈalˌbin/) instead.
Once again, the court did not approve of the parents’ ideas for naming because of a prohibition on one-letter naming.
With parents like these, being named Brfxxccxxmnpcccclll Mmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 is the least of this poor kid’s worries!
I know some parents believe they should have the freedom to give their kids weird, “unique” names, but this is extreme. I wish the government would fine more people.
And I can’t stand it when people take common names and misspell them - that’s one of my biggest pet peeves. Like some Joys are spelled Joi or Joie. I have to ask WHY?!!! Then there’s the Jessikas, Mikaels, and every other misspelled name I can’t think of right now. That’s child abuse! Heh.
