9. Baby Names Tax

The naming law in Sweden requires approval of the names given to Swedish children. The Swedish Tax Agency administers the registration of names in Sweden. The law has been reformed since originally enacted; in 1983 it was made possible for men to adopt their wife's or partner's name, as well as for women to adopt their husband's name. The law states, “First names shall not be approved if they can cause offense or can be supposed to cause discomfort for the one using it, or names which for some obvious reason are not suitable as a first name”.
