Naming laws
Sweden has naming laws - names can't be "invented", spellings can't be altered much, names must be "real names", and surname names can't be used. This is why there aren't many new and distinguishably modern names in Sweden.It's the same thing here in Finland. Right now very old-fashioned names are trendy, partly because people are naming their children after their grandparents.
