Brfxxccxxmnpccccllllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 (pronounced "Albin") was the name the parents of a Swedish boy born in 1991 tried to give in May 1996. The intention was to protest against the Swedish law names (Namnlag [1982:670]), which stated that "Given names will not be approved if they are considered offensive or embarrassing to the wearer, or names that for obvious reasons would not be suitable as given names."

The parents—Elizabeth Hallin and Lasse Diding—had planned not to legally register their son's name, but a court in the district of Halmstad, southern Sweden, fined them 5,000 SEK (about €550), for failing to comply with the obligation to register the name of the child before the fifth anniversary of his birth. In response to the court decision, the parents sent a name of 43 characters, including 5 digits and stated that it corresponded to an experience that occurred during the pregnancy: «An expressionist development that we envision as an artistic creation». The parents suggested that the name should be understood in the spirit of pataphysics. The court rejected the name and upheld the fine.

So the parents tried to change the name to "A" (also pronounced "Albin") instead of Brfxxccxxmnpccccllllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116. Again, the court did not approve the parents' ideas for the attribution of the name, since in Sweden it is forbidden to have a name with only one letter.

On his first passport, the boy was called "Icke namngivet gossebarn", which means "little boy with no name".
