Court decided – and in Finland appeared … Lucifer

Each era gives some people an impetus for fantasy when choosing a newborn name. It is well known that blinded by communist ideas often called their firstborn eras, decrees, constitutions, Stalinami, Vladilenia and other similar names. In the 80s in the former Soviet republics, it was fashionable to give girls the name of Indira, which was then carried by the then Charismatic Prime Minister of India.

It would seem that time was gone, and exotic names with him. No, here in Finland, a new case thundered in connection with the receipt of the name, but already an adult.

Once a resident of Espoo terrain with three names – Martti Weight Olavi by Linya-Aho’s name went to the magistrate (local government – Ed.) To officially change the procedure for following their names in documents.

The reason is that, since all friends and relatives themselves called his weight, but this name should be second in identification documents, then in different instances it was Marthi, then weight. When he came to the magistrate, he learned that the new Law Finland entered in 2019 allows you to have entire four names.

He immediately remembered the conversation with his friend about the fact that there are names that will not pass just into the register of citizens and will not be approved there automatically. These will be given to the Special Commission on the change of names and surnames. And weight chose one of these names – Lucifer.

He wrote a statement, and it was expected to be sent to the Commission of the Agency for Digital and Demographic Data. From there, there was a refusal, and as a reason it was stated that Lucifer is one of the names of the devil. What, of course, could not like the commission of the Commission, maybe even believers.

But the stubborn Finn decided not to dwell on this and filed an appeal to the administrative court. He wrote that Lofser is not a misty and no offensive word that, they say, it initially means “carrier light”, and – most importantly – in Finland, several people have already been this name. In addition, since 1976, it was used as a brand for grills, reminded the discontinuator of the “Dvavolsky” named.

Regarding the possible insult of the feelings of believers, wrote that the negative value of the name may have in Christians, and for Satanists or so-called Vican it is at least neutral, if not positive.

As a result, the administrative court argued the man’s arguments and decided to allow him to take Lucifer as the fourth name. The court recognized that the name has many values ​​and not all of them are negative. Thus, Lucifer appeared in Finland again.
