I always thought Scandinavia was a free and easy-going place. I'm not so sure after I spotted this on Teletext... MOTHER JAILED OVER SON'S NAME "A mother of 14 children was jailed for 2 days because she refused to change the name she picked for her young son. Norway has strict laws regulating names, including lists of acceptable first and last names. Kirsti Larsen, 46, said she named her son Gesher after she dreamed the child should be named Bridge - gesher means bridge in Hebrew." I guess Dag-Erling and Eivind must be on the approved list ;-) -- Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
