So Ikea is unacceptable, so is Elvis as a girl's name, whilst Lego is cool as a boy's name, and Metallica is acceptable for a girl? I think someone needs to confiscate all coughing syrup found in the offices of this Administrative Court of Appeals thing.

/In 15-16 years time, some Swedish guy will be asked if it's true that he has nailed Metallica.

Sounds to be like they're building a new century of stupid baby names, brick by brick.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Is not amused.

ChadManMn: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark

Perhaps it's some bad herring.

About a month ago.. I ran across some teen working in a gas station here in town with a name tag that read "Tonka" ... "Lego" doesn't sound that bad afterall.

Sex should be interesting for this kid.

"Sorry, it doesn't fit properly"

"Wow, it has 8 bumps on it"

soupnyc807: Sex should be interesting for this kid.

"Sorry, it doesn't fit properly"

"Wow, it has 8 bumps on it"

Well, it's better for little Lego, than I would be for young miss Ikea, who would have people thinking they were original av suave every time they suggested that they could slide their Peg No. 1 into her Slit A.

Is that 4 x 2 or 8 x 1?

or Slot B.

Don't you mean Blocko?

Right, right.

"Swedish couple win the right to call their child Lego. Neighours already report that he's a bit of a blockhead"

Must take after his parents.

WTF is wrong with folks in Sweden anyway? A terribly attractive people, more or less, but apparently mostly insane since the turn of the 20th century.

And "wins the right" is incorrect. A right doesn't need to be given by a judge. What they did was win permission to name the state ward they birthed as "Lego". Nothing more.

LEGO thread!

If they can name their children after toys, then I am going to name my children after house hold cleaners.

I will name my son Simple Green and my daughter Windex.

Will thier next child be called Eggo?

what, no Idiocracy reference?

I'm all about quirky or unique names, but retarded is another story.

What the fark is a "neighours"?

I have a distant relative in Slovakia (very distant) named Tonka. They say it's short for Antonia, but I fail to see the connection.

A long running Aussie soap opera.

Stupid names are abundant. I work with a Charlie Brown and Robyn Hood. Their parents should be fired. From life.

And that's what I wanted to see :)

I temped at ITT here in Roanoke some years back. They had a Kitty Katt and a Jesse James.

My daughter will be Brita and my son Lenovo.

It is sad that in other countries, you have to get permission to name your kid (or yourself) whatever the hell you want.

My fiance is half Czech and his cousin is called Erinka (her name is Erin), his cousin Elisabeth is called Eliska and his aunt is called Libuska (Libuse) by his Czech grandmother. I think the KA may make it a pet name.

Pretty much, from what I know. No different than turning Robert into Robby and Thomas into Tommy.

Also, his two male cousins also get -Ku (like coo) added to their name - but they both have been very adamant that they dont like it any more, poor Johanneku and Alexeku.

I made my son out of Lego, does that count?

he actually looks very amused to me.

Nevermind Sweden, wtf is wrong with people in this world who think it's ok to name their precious snowflakes obscure, random, crazily-spelled names? Why put your kid through years of teasing because you thought it was "cute" when he was 2 months old?

I mean ok, you have tradiational names, fine. But not this Deztiny, Aleeyisha, ESPN crap.

submitter: call their child Lego

Good thing it wasn't twins, or we'd have a flame war between the "Legos" people and the "Lego Bricks" people.

He's going to have a hard time hooking up later on...

Shouldn't a child this young start with Duplos?

Well, hey, there's "Tonks" in Harry Potter, right?

On the bright side, stepping on him in the middle of the night won't hurt as much.

I could maybe see L'ego. And his brother L'id.

The hands-down winner in my life is a friend's wife who was working labor & delivery at Baptist Hospital in Lexington, KY about 5 years ago and a lady named her baby....wait for it....Yo Majesty's Infamous Pimpin.

I shiat you not.
