UK Home Office Reverses Decision on Boy's Passport
News summary

Christian Mowbray, a British soldier, faced an unexpected hurdle when his seven-year-old son Loki Skywalker Mowbray was denied a passport due to copyright concerns over his middle name, which is a trademarked term by Disney. The family, planning their first vacation since 2014 to the Dominican Republic, was informed by the Home Office that they needed to either change the name or obtain permission from Disney. Despite understanding the copyright concerns, Mowbray emphasized that the name was not intended for personal gain and highlighted the evolving nature of modern names. The Home Office eventually reversed its decision and began processing the passport application, apologizing for the delay. This incident underscores the complexities that can arise with unique, culturally significant names.
