Mother renames her son to match her misspelled tattoo of his original name

Johanna Giselhll Sandstrm of Kyrkhult, Sweden paid to have her arm tattooed with her two children's names: Nova and Kevin. Problem is, he accidentally inked her with "Kelvin." The tattooist refunded her money and suggested she go to a tattoo removal clinic. Instead, she and her husband settled on an easier, less expensive, and pain-free solution: They changed Kevin's name to Kelvin which they claim to prefer anyway. From The Local:

I had never heard the name Kelvin before. There isnt anyone who names their kid Kelvin. So when I thought more about it, I realized that no one else has this name. It became unique. Now we think it is better than Kevin, Sandstrm said....

He wasnt so old [at the time of the tattoo] so he didnt think about it. Hes five now, but when I got the tattoo he was approaching two, she said.
