QUIRKY WORLD ... Little howler: Couple call their newborn Wolf

SPAIN: A couple who started an online petition to be allowed to call their newborn son the Spanish word for Wolf will now be permitted to do so.

Nako and Maria Javierre launched the campaign after a registry office in Madrid last month refused to accept the name, arguing it could be “offensive” for their son.

They were later told Lobo (wolf) was a surname in Spanish and could cause confusion.
