Norwegian King Refuses Name Change to Washed Up Video Game Mascot

Norway; when I think of Norway, I think of vikings, not blue hedgehogs that seem uninterested in being in good games.

King Harold V refused to allow 6-year-old Christer to change his name to Sonic X. Certainly any sane figure of power would've refused such a naive 6-year-old request. Actually, the request to become a nerdy punching bag change his name never came to fruition because he wasn't considered an 18-year-old adult yet.

At least that gives him time to consider a new name when he grows up, like Nico Bellic or Chris Redfield.
