Sweden relaxes rules on givings kids unusual names

Being a half-Swede I am slightly biased when it comes to all things Swedish-related, however, I can't help but wonder if they may have had it right the first time on this one. I absolutely believe there should be extreme limitations on what any government should be allowed to dictate when it comes to child-rearing, unless of course if the child's welfare comes into question. While a child's naming certainly cannot be compared to true abuse, I can't help but wonder about the long-term psychological effects of being named after a popular frat house libation.
