Excerpt:
In the latest battle over what people may legally call their children, the Swedish Tax Authority (Skatteverket) has ruled that the parents of a two-month-old boy in Skåne in southern Sweden may not call their child Allah.
According to the decision, Skatteverket does not approve "names that can give offence or be seen to cause discomfort for the bearer". In this case, Skatteverket was "of the opinion that the name can be seen as objectionable for religious reasons."Skatteverket legal expert Lars Tegenfeldt told The Local that devout members of the public might take offense to certain names with highly religious connotations.
