Could you trademark a common American (English) boys name, say Ben TM or
Joe TM?? It's just as stupid to trademark a Swedish boys name.
Then, to add something not said in this debate before, Sune actually had a second
meaning in the sixties/seventies. It stood as an opposite to "hippie" or "mods" (swedish). The kind of persons (youth) it described was rather someone with a
nice (American) car and oil in their hair. "Slicker" could perhaps be appropriate.
And my connection is that Sune is a real slicker algorithm.
Lars Petrus is old enough to have heard people being called Sune when he was
a little boy. But I will not presume to have read his mind and tell that he made the
same connection between Sune and Slicker....
