Swedish tax authorities have informed a couple in Stockholm that they may not keep the name Elvis for their five-month old daughter.
The girl's parents have appealed the decision, Metro reports.

"We talked about lots of names and then Elvis popped up. We thought it was a name that was both pretty and gender-neutral. We're not Elvis Presley fans at all," the infant's mother, Linda, told the newspaper.

The most important factor for the couple, who do not own any of The King's records, was for the name to be "gender-neutral".

But not everyone agreed with their assessment that Elvis fit the bill. In its ruling, the tax board wrote:

"It is the National Tax Board's view that Elvis is a first name of a masculine type and as such may, in light of standard practice, be considered clearly inappropriate as a first name for a woman."

The girl's mother however believes that her appeal will be successful and has vowed to continue calling her daughter Elvis whatever the eventual outcome.

The family can also take heart from the experience last year of the Tomaro family, whose daughter was eventually allowed to keep the name Metallica after a protracted battle with the authorities.

Well since Elvis is a real name, I don't see why the government won't let them name their daughter that. Don't understand where the thought that it's a "gender-neutral" name came from though.

An effort to crack down on prostitution in Forsyth County’s massage parlors has resulted in the arrests of three women, including one who faced the same charge last year.

The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office charged Mi Suk Yang, 47, of Marietta and Kil Cha Hurst, 65, of Jonesboro with prostitution on Wednesday.

*NECRO BUMP*

One of the class lists that I was given for one of the classes that I had yesterday. Since they're kids, for the sake of privacy I'm obviously not mentioning the name of the school. Also, I've blacked out the names of the other kids on the list.

The way the lists are done, it's last name, then given name, then how the kids prefer to be/how they are usually addressed (eg, their full name may be listed as "Jones, Frederic" but they prefer to go by "Fred Jones" or "Freddy Jones").

And yeah, the name is pronounced EXACTLY how it's spelled.
