Indeed. My daughter was Christened Marja-Liisa
after her mother's favorite sister. We called her
Miku as a baby. The name stuck. About five years
ago she changed her name, officially, to Miku.
There is no Deed Poll in Finland -- a visit to the
local registration (or Church) office to fill in a
form is all that need be done. Miku is now a
'real' name.

You can't call him that!
How about Sven Goran 5-1 Goldenballs Shrek?
How about Zipo Bibrock 5 x 10^8?
I might call it Ektachrome. Which is a much better name than CFcard. 8-)
Doesn't really matter what I think. I know of two cases here where both
parents carefully sifted names for both sexes and made mutually
agreeable choices. Once the child was born, the mothers called them
names that were not even on the original lists.
