The Administrative Court of Turku allowed the registration of the child's first name Nanuk after the Board of Names rejected it. While the Board cited domestic naming conventions and potential harm, the court found the name compliant with legal standards and free from obvious detriment. Consequently, the court overruled the Board's decision to permit the name's registration.

Maistraatti oli hylännyt poikalapsen etunimen Nanuk rekisteröinti-ilmoituksen,

koska nimi oli kotimaisen nimikäytännön

vastainen ja sen käyttö voi aiheuttaa lapselle ilmeistä

haittaa.

Nimilautakunta oli lausunnossaan todennut, ettei nimelle Nanuk

ollut nimilain 32 b §:ssä tarkoitettuja yleisiä esteitä.

Hallinto-oikeus hyväksyi lapsen huoltajien valituksen. Etunimi

Nanuk ei ole muodoltaan tai kirjoitusasultaan kotimaisen

nimikäytännön vastainen. Sen käytöstä ei myöskään aiheudu ilmeistä

haittaa.
