Naming your child Superman illegal in Sweden, mother outraged

[Dan]

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:

Oh yes there needs to be a law!

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.. :-)

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