Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116, pronounced “albin,” was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991. Parents Elisabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding gave their child this name as a protest against the naming law in Sweden.
Because the parents failed to register a name by the boy’s fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined them 5,000 kronor (roughly €500 or US$600). 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 court rejected the name and upheld the fine.
The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced “albin”). Once again, the court refused to approve of the name, citing a prohibition on one-letter naming.
