A Swedish couple has won the right after a court battle to name their daughter Edradour, after a Scottish whisky brand.
Initially the tax office, which in Sweden registers the names for newborns, refused the name, saying it was too closely linked to an alcoholic drink.
The Ekloefs argued that Edradour is also a beautiful town in Scotland, and said they had been charmed by the place as well as the local tipple.
Coming soon from Mr and Mrs Ekloef - Wagga Wagga Ekloef, Scunthorpe Ekloef and 100 Pipers Ekloef.
Please no comments on 100 Pipers being only a whiskey brand and not the name of a town - Mr and Mrs Ekloef are lovers of things Scottish after all, perhaps even bagpipes...
We're reminded of the Beckhams who named one offspring Brooklyn and the ill-fated union of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffiths that produced a child by the name of Dakota.
Anyone out there like to suggest a town, city or state name for a poor unfortunate child to suffer under the indignity of?
