A Swedish court has ruled that the parents of a seven-month-old girl in Kungälv, Sweden can name their child Metallica, according to the Swedish newspaper GP. The girl's parents wanted to give their daughter a name that combined their first names. After picking Metallica and checking twice with the Swedish tax agency Skatteverket if the name was acceptable, they were told that it shouldn't be a problem since there is already a girl in Sweden called Metallica. When they filed Metallica as one of the girl's three first names, the Skatteverket suddenly objected, claiming that the name was inappropriate because a famous hard rock band bears that name and the fact that it's too close to the word "metal." The parents filed an appeal with the district court, which has now ruled that the use of the name won't pose any problems for either the girl or anyone that she comes in contact with. One member of the jury objected to the ruling, claiming that the name probably will cause discomfort to the person who bears it.
I wonder how long it will take Lars to press charges when he finds about this? I don't think the poor parents are aware of what they have gotten themselves into.

Written by Guest on 10.03.2011 at 01:14 Why you'd name your kid something like that is beyond me. Oh well, 15 year old immaturity. When I was that age I wanted to change my last name to file, and name my son Peter.

I think that a name like Metallica could be a second name, because if the child doesn't like it, it can always be signed as M. The first name cannot be hidden if she doesn't like it
