"Let's change the name of Skellefteå municipality!"

In a proposal a resident has suggested changing the name of Skellefteå municipality. The person wants to remove the word 'municipality' and change it to 'city'.

The Skellefteå resident thinks it's time to change the name considering the high level of development and change occuring in the town. Skellefteå City also sounds more inviting! Therefore, I propose that the municipality change its name to Skellefteå City.

Is changing the name of Skellefteå a good idea?

The proponent of the idea also points to other municipalities that have already changed their names, for example Stockholm City, Gothenburg City and others.
