Hehe. :)

:lol:
Maybe she should call him Clarke Kent < surname > ?
Still, you have to question the level sanity behind her choice ;-)
Poor bloody kid!

kid can always change name... at adult age... after being bullied tremendously :-(
geez, what a stupid mum that is, just not caring what her kid's called, just pick one "funny name"
still, not something to make a law about methinks...

I´m amazed that Batman is legal.
Anyway I don´t think being named Stålman should be a problem as long as the kid has some other first names. David Rune Stålman Leisten, sounds like a good enough name to me.
I think he would be called David by his parents and in school.
If you can have Björn(Bear) as a first name and Lejon(Lion), Modig(Brave) and Stark(Strong) as surnames why not Stålman?
As for the surname-likness that´s just bull.
Inger René, she has a surname that sounds like a first name.
And if your family name is Nilsson you can´t name your daugther Nilsdotter(Nilsdaugther) which was a common in the middleages. Neither can you if you are names Thomas Johansson name your kids Thomasson/Thomasdaugther.
I always wanted to see if I would be allowed to change my name to Åsna(Donkey) or Sjusovare(dormouse but it also means lazy in swedish)! :lol:

Some idiot wanted to name his daughter Balkong(Balcony)!!!!!!
And another girl got named Wilda(female form of wild).

Greetings,
>SUPERMAN
Ka-el would sound better than SUPERMAN.
:lol: A new fad is born! I'll name my son as Bill Gates the 3rd, so back off! :lol:
Other options are Grover, CookieMonster, Elmo.
Who could forget, NEO, Trinity, and Morpheus.
.........Though the baby looks cute on that outfit. Awww.. :-)
Regards,

Wilda is OK, IMO, though I'd never give such a name to my daughter.
Naming someone after a comic character is pretty rediculous, but if someone wants to give their child a name that actually means something in a modern language, then why not?

Kal-el would work, they accepted Obiwan Kenobi
And Morpheus wouldn´t be any problem.

Parents like that should be shot. Unfortunately this sort of thing would be allowed in the US. Here's a couple I've heard over the years
Richard Head (What is short for Richard?)
Hairy Nuts (No joke)
George Foreman (Yes the boxer, what's the problem? He named all 7 of his sons "George Foreman")
Moon Unit Zappa & Dwezel Zappa (Frank Zappa's kids. Yeah right, he didn't do drugs..uh-huh)
For some reason I am hitting a mental block, but there are many I have heard over the years. People naming their kids after video games, major events (in late 1992/early 1993 Andrew was the most popular boys name in south FL after the hurricane), nonsensical strings of sylibals etc. If I think of some I'll post them;-)

I know someone called Wilda. She's Lithuanian.
And damn cute if I recall!

Aaaaah, yes, Lithuanians. Gotta love their accent......
