What's in a name?

Swedish authorities say parents can now name their newborns "Budweiser" or "Metallica" if they so wish.

For decades, Swedish tax authorities had banned parents from naming their children after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.

But tax authority spokesman Lars Tegenfeldt says the guidelines have been relaxed. He says "there is nothing negative about a name like Coca-Cola or McDonald's today. In the 1970s, maybe it was."

As long as they know the one whose name is above every name, what they name their children doesn't matter that much...but they should give heed to how the name might be received in the future. "Let's go to McDonalds," could mean go get something to eat or go to your friend's house.
