   Should’ve been rather easy if they said it was latin and didn’t habe anything to do with a plastic toy.

   Lego is an extremely litigious company. Moreso than any other toy company, I think. They tried to sue me once:

   what is the obsession with obscure names over there? is it just in defiance of the goverment screening the names of their children? if so, poor kids….

   So people in Sweden are not free to name their children what they want? Their government regulates child names???

   That is micro-management to the N’th degree. That’s Socialism for ya…

   While I think naming one’s child Lego is pretty messed up, that Sweden and other countries are so controlling over this is plain disturbing.

   The government shouldn’t have a problem with it. But the parents have to be prepared for the lawsuits from the copyright holders. I can’t wait to see what happens to the parents of Kleenex, Xerox, and Rollerblade. You know it’s going to happen one of these days…
