Royal Slip Sparks New Name Trend in Sweden

Up until recently, there was no Swedish person with the name Inse. But the name spread with the help of a royal misstatement, and now there are two registered with the name Inse.

Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia got a daughter in February, and during a council, the king announced the newborn's name: Ines Marie Lilian Silvia. But the king happened to say "Inse" instead of Ines as a nickname, and a moment of confusion arose.

Many wondered if there is anyone with the name Inse. There is now.

Two small children are registered with the name, according to the Tax Agency. One little Inse was born in 2024 and got their name registered on March 11 this year, a couple of weeks after the king's slip of the tongue. The other little Inse was born this year and got their name registered on March 20, according to information from the Tax Agency.
