Soldier’s son refused passport because of his unusual middle name
A soldier’s son was refused a passport by the Home Office because of a potential copyright row over his middle name.
Loki Skywalker Mowbray, seven, was ruled ineligible to receive the travel document because of “copyright issues” over the name, which was given to him by his parents as a tribute to Star Wars character Luke Skywalker.
Sgt Christian Mowbray, the boy’s father, said Passport Office officials told the family to change his name or get permission from Disney, which owns the copyright for the word “Skywalker”.
It is not the first time that the Home Office has refused to issue passports to people with a fictional character’s name.
In August, six-year-old Khaleesi Holloway, who is named after a Game of Thrones character, was not given one because it was protected under trademark law. The Home Office later about-turned on the refusal.
