Sweden Rejects Ford as Name for Canadian/Swedish Couple’s Son

Theresa

What do you all think of this? On these baby forums we tend to get into chats about crazy spellings, made up names, etc, but at least the couple has a choice. Or should the government have any say? Sweden isn’t the only country that does this.

Personally I feel like this is a good example of how when the government gets involved they tend to go to far with things and become unreasonable. I get the idea of wanting to stop parents from burdening a child with a stupid or harmful name (Like Adolf Hitler), but... they are going to reach a point where it’s personal opinion. Like Ford.
