Parents of 'nameless' children face fines
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- The Swedish Tax Agency is sending letters to parents who take too long giving first names to children for the tax registry.
The letters, which the agency began sending this year, inform parents that Swedish law requires them to give their children names before they are 3 months old. Non-compliant parents could face fines of up to $1,200.

Must be harder to collect taxes from anyone without a first name.
