And, btw, just to have that said, I do not see Swedish position be that they as Sweden would object to someone that requests such a name. If they request such a name, they might end up in court. Their problem. Their are supposed to have done your due diligence before you apply for a name and use it in Sweden.

But Maria is on the list and will be at the meeting so possibly better if Sweden explain what the Swedish view is ;-)

Other countries might have different view on the topic. They might find they do have a responsibility to object against words that would be illegal if used.

And if they object on such grounds, what impact would it have on the application? If any?
