A Norwegian woman has been sent to prison for two days for refusing to pay a fine imposed for giving her son an unapproved name.

Kirsti Larsen, who has fourteen children, said she was instructed in a dream to call her 13th child, Gesher - the Hebrew for bridge.

She was fined around 1,530 Kroner ($200) after losing a series of court appeals when the local authority refused to register the name.

Norway bans names it considers ridiculous or inappropriate.
