Photograph: Anna Andersen/AP A 15-year-old Icelandic girl has been granted the right to legally use the name given to her by her mother, despite opposition from the authorities. A court ruled on Thursday that Blær (which means "gentle breeze") can be legally used as the girl's first name. The decision overturns an earlier rejection by Icelandic authorities who declared it was not a proper feminine name. Until now, Blær Bjarkardóttir had been identified simply as "Girl" in communications with officials. Like a handful of other countries, including Germany and Denmark, Iceland has official rules about what a baby can be named. Names are supposed to fit Icelandic grammar and pronunciation rules. Her mother, Björk Eiðsdóttir, had fought for the right for the name to be recognised. Blær told the court she had no problems with her name.
