“Jörgen dislike arugula and is accompanied lovers”
“I was named Jörgen a summer.”
“Without my knowledge falsified any of my signature on the Tax form, an experimental joke that worked just fine. Came home from vacation expecting droves of window envelopes with information about the granting of the name change. “
“It was not enough to send in handstilsprov to rescind the decision. I was referred to the Swedish Patent and registration office who wanted to have a thousand crowns, and a particularly strong reason for a second amendment in a short time. “
“the Matter was delayed. The police were involved. The radio and the newspaper called with questions I was joking away, as if my lost first name is not in me, as if I was not lost. “
“Jörgen Bergström. There is the what type it is. Dislike rocket salad, good with the unit, accompanied the lovers. Bureaucratic, it took months to delete him, emotionally, it took years. And who was behind the joke I never got to know.”
“I think of the namnens charge when I read about Macaulay Culkin. After the ”home Alone”, ”My girl” and ”home Alone 2” in the beginning of the 90’s took barnstjärnan 150 million and let the career go fallow.”
“Now, the 38-year-old global rewritten again. In the days has everything from Piteå-Tidningen to the brazilian Folha de Sao Paulo reported on a vote he secured for the current new middle name, with the option to Macaulay Culkin won by a wide margin.”
“Now listen ex-actor to Macaulay Macaulay Culkin Culkin. “
“Clear that such a news reaches south America, east Asia, the Caribbean and the northern part of sweden. The substance is tantalizing in the same way as Mike Tysons tribal tattoos: all have been toying with the idea, imagine that hot the Queen or Hejkon-Bejkon or Sven-Zlatan, but few have taken the step.”
“Stuck in självförverkligandets era, it seems to be more common. 2015 applied 25 000 swedes to change the first name. 2017 changed the name of the law, the criteria was tightened and a new charge of sek 250 is made what we may call Jörgenbluffar. Nevertheless, the number of applications to 28 000.”
“today, there is a kind of smakjury of the Tax. They are administrators, which ensures that the new name does not lead to discomfort of the wearer or cause offence in others. With the new name of the law disappeared the resistance of the könskonträra name, girls may be hot, Olof, if they want to, while the desire to baptize their children of J has reached the Supreme administrative court.”
“– talking about a Swedish namntradition and there is no basis for a single letter, ” says Agneta Carlquist, business developer at the Swedish Tax agency.”
“I ask my actual question: is it possible to speak of a trend, a namnbytarnas boom right now?”
“Carlquist expect it. But the numbers are svårtydda also for her. “
“Sure, is that the obstacles have been removed for a new kind of variability. Nowadays, there is no limit in how many changes you may make at the Tax agency, without having to turn to the träigare Patent and registration office. “
“So maybe keep one last bastion to fall. In the summer of 2019, we change our hairstyle, eating habits, shoes and first name. For the fall we named something close to nature: Stone, Ash, River. “
“It is the world’s easiest escapism, life changes with a signature. And you need to feel handier and oknussligare a period of life is Jörgen free.”
