Swedish parents must report the names of their newborns to the Skatteverket tax agency, where the couple was refused.
According to Swedish rules, names should not be offensive or dangerous to the wearer, and names that are clearly similar to surnames are not allowed.
It is unclear which of these principles formed the basis of the tax authority's decision, but this is not the first time it has rejected such requests. Previously, the authorities did not give permission for names like Ford, Allah, Pilsner and Q.
