Hedgecutter Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 If she pronounced it properly, i.e. Shonatch, there would not be an issue. What about the thousands of folk called Iain who have it pronounced 'Ee-in' rather than 'Ee-aye-n'. Do you call them the latter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 There'll be a few Jack Daniels here and there I'd imagine. At least that sounds a decent name. Chardonnay is the perfect example of a ned name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monster Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 There are very strict laws on child's names in Sweden. I remember reading how the government blocked an appeal of a couple who were not allowed to call their newborn son: 'Metallica'. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
