The Swedish Tax Agency noble execution method as a first name

The cruel execution method blood eagle is for some may be familiar from the TV series "Vikings" where a bloody scene shows the execution. The method involves cutting off the ribs from the spine of the person to be executed, bending the ribs outwards as wings and pulling out the lungs.

Therefore, when a man in Södertälje applied for the name of Blood Blood Eagle on his first name, the tax office stopped it.

“The Swedish Tax Agency makes the assessment that Blood Eagle can be presumed to offend because of the word's purpose for the execution method. The Swedish Tax Agency also makes the assessment that Blood Eagle does not have a first name character, ”the decision states.
