I could not find a new name for the child but here is the story behind the name issue:

Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced /ˈalˌbin/) was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991.
The boy's parents had planned never to legally name him at all, as a protest to the naming law of Sweden, which reads:
First names shall not be approved if they can cause offense or can be supposed to cause discomfort for the one using it, or names which for some obvious reason are not suitable as a first name.
Because the parents (Elizabeth Hallin and an unidentified father) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden fined the parents 5,000 kronor (about US$682). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of 'pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.
The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A (also pronounced /ˈalˌbin/) instead. Once again, the court did not approve of the parents' ideas for naming.

ckssqlbb11116 (pronounced /ˈalˌbin/) was a name intended for a Swedish child who was born in 1991.

The boy's parents had planned to never legally name him at all, as a protest to the naming law of Sweden.

Because the parents (Elizabeth Hallin and an unidentified father) failed to register a name by the boy's fifth birthday, a district court in Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined the parents 5,000 kronor (equivalent to approximately US$ 650 or € 525). Responding to the fine, the parents submitted the 43-character name in May 1996, claiming that it was "a pregnant, expressionistic development that we see as an artistic creation." The parents suggested the name be understood in the spirit of 'pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.

The parents then tried to change the spelling of the name to A instead. Once again, the court did not approve of the parents' ideas for naming.

So they are protesting by not calling the child anything, although they are getting fined for it.

lol...My friend told me that a woman somewhere (don't remember) had twins and called the one that came out first "original" and the second "photocophy", and I couldn't believe it.

After reading yours and having heard "Kevin Costner of Jesus" somewhere else, I think everything is possible, but I believe a child shouldn't be punished like that.

Sometimes people really can't draw the line.

Apparently it is supposed to be pronounced 'Albin'
Maybe they haven't finished thrashing it out in the courts yet!
