Lai cik dīvaini (neliberāli) tas skanētu, šoreiz esmu valsts pusē. Uzskatu, ka valstij ir jārūpējas un jāveicina latviešu un latviski izrunājami vārdi. Domāju, ka konkrētajā gadījumā valsts zaudēja, jo pati ne reizi vien bija nelikumīgi reģistrējusi citus "Otto" vārdus.
Domāju, ka likums nav jāmaina un ir jāievēro, citādi latviešu vārdi pamazām izzudīs.

A Swedish couple has been fined for failing to register a legally approved name for their seven-year-old child, who is presently called "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116" (pronounced "/ˈalˌbin/"). They've offered to change the kid's name to "A," but the Swedish government says that won't do, either.

Because the parents (Elizabeth Hallin and an unidentified father) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents 5,000 kronor (US$682 at the time). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of 'pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.
