KEY POINTS:
Swedish authorities say parents can now name their newborns "Budweiser" or "Metallica" if they wish.
Swedish tax authorities had banned parents from naming their children after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.
But tax authority spokesman Lars Tegenfeldt says "there is nothing negative about a name like Coca-Cola or McDonald's today. In the 1970s, maybe it was."
Authorities draw the line at giving children swear words for names or naming them God, Allah or Devil.
