A blog that I'm reading regularly commented on an article, in one of the Swedish newspapers, about that the rules and regulations on what you are and aren't allowed to name your child is changing. They are becoming a bit less restrictive.
This is good, I think, as you should be allowed to name your child most things, as long as it's not offensive.
But the article still amazed me though. Because what is becoming less restrictive and what is not becoming less restrictive is a bit confusing to me.
You are still not allowed to name a boy a traditional girls name, like Maria. "That could be misleading".
But, these days you ARE allowed to name your child "Nordfront" (The North Front" as most people these days are not connecting that with Nazism, and therefor it is no longer considered offensive. "Also, if you want your child to be connected with Nazism, you have the right to".
Excuse me?! Nazism is apparently okay, but naming your child something that doesn't fit with the gender norms is not!?
