Help[Opinions] Re: Swedish celebrity BA (horrible!)
in reply to a message by Caprice
How is Loranga okay but Coca Cola is not? How do they decide which sodas make good names and which ones don't? This is one of the faults I see with naming laws. Sometimes they just seem so arbitrary. Do they have a set of rules or is it just a panel of old white men sitting around judging and denying names?
Dang, If thats a JOB I'd love to do it.

I have no idea. I find it strange, too. Fanta is apparently OK because it is a real name in some African culture, but Loranga is a soda, nothing more. OK, there is a popular book series for children in which a character is called Loranga, but I can't see how that changes anything. The naming laws are not always logical...
Soda is a legal name, BTW, but I don't think Läsk (Swedish word for sodapop) would pass the test.
