In December 2006 15 of the inhabitants of Fjuckby applied to change the name of their village. The request was sent to the Swedish government surveyors' office, and requested that the office grant permission for the name to be changed back to Fjukeby. The request complained of suffering from an epidemic of "weariness, embarrassment and conditioned shame." In particular, the place name 'Fjuckby' arouses ridicule, teasing and hilarity in the general public and spontaneously and repeatedly leads to associations concerning certain carnal activities between people and between animals. The change was not allowed as only 15 of 65 residents were in favour of the change.
