I've long maintained that naming your child is the most arbitrary decision you'll ever make in your life, with the most lasting, most significant impact on someone else's life. Names matter. And yet it sometimes feels as though you're just throwing darts at a board to decide on this lifelong choice for your child.
Which is why this story (via Boing Boing) about two parents who chose a name more indecipherable than Mr. Mxyzptlk as "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation" is so ridiculous.

Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced /'al'bin/) was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991.While I'd also question the "naming law of Sweden," I've got to believe there are better ways to stick it to the man than this.
The boy's parents had planned never to legally name him at all, as a protest to the naming law of Sweden. Wikipedia
Hey, they could've just name the kid Phukyoo. Wouldn't that be fun!
Take that, "The Man" ;)
