First pic of my twin sister's (twindouble's) kid:






She has her father's eyes and her mother's lips. They haven't decided yet the kid's name. Knowing them, it could be anything ;)

Actually it's not that simple. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the process goes this way (I tried to find some info about this naming policy a few weeks ago when I suspected that Aure would give us some trouble being quite a rare name):

An ordinary employee or clerk at the magistrate decides whether or not s/he accepts the application for the name of the baby. If s/he decides that the name is against the law, then parents can take the case to the special name board. Then the board handles the case and gives its answer. I don't know if you can complain about their decision to anywhere or not.

But if the clerk thinks the name is okay, it's official and final. Not matter if it's Zorro, Frodo or Grieytwlsghfdgk.

That is quite an unfair system, because everything depends on who takes care of your application and how s/he interprets the law.
That's the reason why some very odd names have been accepted. Somewhere in Finland there is a really openminded magistrate employee....

userprobably knows most about these naming things. She collects strange names that have been accepted by either the clerk or the name board and has a lot of info about the issue as a whole.
