A Norwegian woman has been jailed for giving her son a name the authorities did not like. Kirsti Larsen (46), a mother of 14, was sent to jail for two days in Fredrikstad for refusing to pay a fine for choosing Gesher, the Hebrew word for bridge, for her 13th child.
Norwegian authorities have a list of approved children's names, outlawing others on the grounds that they might expose children to ridicule.
After losing a string of appeals, Larsen refused to pay a £130 fine and was jailed. The authorities said Gesher was too unusual and too similar to the Norwegian surname Geser.
