FINLAND’S REJECTED BABY NAMES
In Finland, your baby’s name has to be approved by the government. (* Ooo, tough luck, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban!) The government has come out with a list of names your CANNOT name your baby. Here are some of them:
– Asmodeus
– Dín
– Eldorado
– Glitch
– Haybis (* “HAY-bis, come get your FLAYvin!)
– Ignatzius
– Jezebella
– Kaliber
– Kukkuböö
– Mikonmuksu
– Monkeybear
– Nex
– Padmé
– Senator
– Shmucci
– Teflon
– Trip
– Voldemort
– Yes
* Imagine you’re at Finland Starbucks: “Nex!” “Yes?” “Him, too!”
* So … “Satan” is okay? And “Lucifer”? “Beelzebub”?
* I’m still not completely comfortable with “Timothée Chalamet.”
