A Swedish couple have been banned from naming their son Vladimir Putin by the tax authorities. The new parents submitted their request to name the boy after the Russian president to the tax agency, as is required by Swedish law. The tax agency has previously rejected first names including Allah, Ford, Michael Jackson, Pilzner, Q and Token. In 2007, a couple successfully had a ruling overturned after the tax agency initially rejected the name Metallica for their daughter.
