    X is no name for a baby boy

    [q=TheLocal]The letter X is not appropriate as a first name for a baby boy, a court in Stockholm has decided.

    The decision by the administrative court of appeal overrules a lower court judgement which allowed a couple to name their son X.

    According to the Point Lex news service, the parents wanted their one year old boy to have X as his first name, followed by two more usual names. The mother is adopted from Columbia and claimed that X is a family name in her country of birth.

    The Swedish Tax Board brought the initial case against the parents, but the lower administrative court found that since several people have the names A, B, C, D or E, there was not reason to prevent X being added to the list.

    However, the administrative court of appeal said that single letters should not be used as names. It pointed out that this particularly applied in the case of X, which is often used when the name is unknown.

    The Swedish Tax Board is known for its rigidity as far as names are concerned. Nevertheless, last year it accepted an application to name a baby boy 'Google'.[/q]

    Clearly, I'd have lived a much better life if I'd been called X. And so do most of us. These judges are horribly clueless

            Learn to overcome the crass demands of flesh and bone, for they warp the matrix through which we perceive the world. Extend your awareness outward, beyond the self of body, to embrace the self of group and the self of humanity. The goals of the group and the greater race are transcendant, and to embrace them is to acheive enlightenment.

                    Everytime I see something like this I wonder if the child ever resorted to violence against the parents later in life. Parents can be so cruel.

                      It's really depressing that people who would actually name a child "Google" breed.

                      The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                          Obviously, they must be two nerds.
                          With any luck, their child will become an über-nerd, and will be considered as über-cool by his nerd peers
