LINCOLN, Neb. — No, the judge said to a 23-year-old Nebraska prison inmate.
You can't call yourself "Sinner Lawrence Bilskirnir."
Court documents say Jonathan L. Thomas cited his Norse religion in seeking the name change, saying he "is a heathen and Thor is his 'High God."'
But Lancaster County District Judge Steve Burns says government agencies need to closely track Thomas because of his criminal record and because there are three child-support cases against him.
Burns says Thomas' reasons do not satisfy the legal requirements.

ONE of Queensland's youngest pollies has told how she spent nine months in Russia for bone-breaking growth surgery because of insecurities about her size.
Logan councillor Hajnal Ban, 31, had each of her legs broken in four places for the leg-lengthening procedure, remaining in hospital as she grew about 1mm a day to increase her 154cm frame to 162cm.
She previously detailed her experience in a book, God Made Me Small, Surgery Made Me Tall, but used a false name and wore a wig and glasses to hide her identity.
Now she has spoken exclusively to The Courier-Mail about the $40,000 procedure and why she used the pseudonym Sara Vornamen to tell her tale.

A North Dakota mother has pleaded not guilty to child neglect after prosecutors alleged she was drunk while breast-feeding her 6-week-old baby.
Prosecutor Carmell Mattison says alcohol was not the only factor in the felony charge against 27-year-old Stacey Anvarinia, who appeared in court Monday. She is free on bond.
Mattison says the mother "wasn't in a position to care for the child properly."
Anvarinia was arrested Feb. 13 after police answered a domestic disturbance call at her Grand Forks home. The prosecutor said officers witnessed Anvarinia breast-feeding the baby and asked her to stop because she was intoxicated.

Mr Barakin is offering a reward of €70,000 ($128,664.64) for the return of his exotic pet, an Asian Leopard Cat, worth more to him than the Mercedes SUV.

WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. — Tinker Bell has been reunited with her owners after a 70-mph gust of wind picked up the six-pound Chihuahua and tossed her out of sight.
Dorothy and Lavern Utley credit a pet psychic for guiding them on Monday to a wooded area nearly a mile from where 8-month-old Tinker Bell had been last seen. The brown long-haired dog was dirty and hungry but otherwise OK.
The Utleys, of Rochester, had set up an outdoor display Saturday at a flea market in Waterford Township, 25 miles northwest of Detroit.
Tinker Bell was standing on their platform trailer when she was swept away.

A SERBIAN union official who chopped off his finger and ate it in a protest over wages that in some cases have not been paid in years, said today he did it to show how desperate he and other workers were.
"We, the workers have nothing to eat, we had to seek some sort of alternative food and I gave them an example," Zoran Bulatovic said.
"It hurt like hell."
Mr Bulatovic, a union leader at the Raska Holding textile factory in Novi Pazar in southwest Serbia, used a hacksaw to cut off most of his left-hand little finger on Friday.
Mr Bulatovic said he decided to act after his deputy, "a single mother of three, was the first to say she would cut off her finger. I could not allow her to do that," he said.
State-owned Raska Holding was a major textile producer in the late 1980s with a workforce of 4000.
It suffered during the collapse of the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s and a loss of markets and mismanagement during a decade of wars and sanctions led to massive job cuts, leaving the company with just 100 workers.
