COPENHAGEN, Denmark --
What's in a name? Not two "ph's", if the Danish government has its way. A Danish court Wednesday ordered a woman to pay a fine of $91 each week for refusing to change the spelling of her son's first name - "Christophpher".
The mother has been paying weekly fines of $18 since 1989, when a court first ruled that spelling the name with "phph" is illegal. Under Danish law, only names listed by the Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs can be given to children. Her refusal to change the name so far has cost her about $4,545 in fines.
The court gave the woman until March 1 to change her son's name, or start paying the higher fines
