They just soften those laws in Norway, and some pretty funny names have come up!
A wellknown radio-comedian added the middelname (this is translated from norwegian) "thankyouverymuch".
A medical-student added "Batman" as his middle name so he could sign bills with Dr. Batman. (He was going to be a kiddie doctor)
A colleague of mine sent an application for fun asking for the middle name "keiko-burger" and by god they approved it...
So he goes by the name Mr. Keikoburger.
These folks changed their name freely, and are over 18years of age.
I have three personal guidelines for naming my kids.
The name should:
1. be individual
2. indicate an origin
3. not be an embarrasment later in life ( refering to silly names, like naming your kid keikoburger )
with those i think youll see a big varity without it beeing negative for the kid!
