Jesus gets thumbs up but God and Allah fall foul of name ban

NORMALLY you won’t find a boy named Sue in Sweden.

There are laws about such things, not just in Sweden but also in several other EU countries.

But court actions by individuals are chipping away at this state of affairs. Recently parents won the right to call their child Q, but another couple were refused the right to call their son Allah. The rule, which is policed by the Swedish Tax Authority, says that names that can give offence or be seen to cause discomfort for the bearer, be a swear word, describe genitalia or be similar to a surname may not be used.
