SWEDES WANT TO NAME BABY "METALLICA"


[+] ballot by aya
ACTIVE Apr 03,2007 - Wed Apr 02, 08
STOCKHOLM, Sweden - Metallica may be a cool name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince officials it is also suitable for a baby girl.

Michael and Karolina Tomaro are locked in a court battle with Swedish authorities, which rejected their application to name their six-month-old child after the legendary rock band.

"It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27, said Tuesday of the name. "She's decisive and she knows what she wants."

Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word "metal."

Tomaro said the official handling the case also called the name "ugly."

The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg, which ruled on March 13 that there was no reason to block the name. It also noted that there already is a woman in Sweden with Metallica as a middle name.

The tax agency appealed to a higher court, frustrating the family's foreign travel plans.

"We've had to cancel trips and can't get anywhere because we can't get her a passport without an approved name," Tomaro said.

Voted : The parents must be euthanized
As long as her middle name is registered as "Sucks", I really have no quarrel with these people.

...Oh, and death to false metal.

Sadly, it should be the right of the parent to choose a name for their child *sigh* ..... some people are beyond stupid, have they stopped to consider what that poor kid will have to endure in school, all the teasing and bullying because its half witted parents wanted to name it after their favorite rock band, all I can say is thankfully they are not slayer or megadeath fans .........

The parents are dumbasses. The child'll hate them when she gets older. Naming your child a ridiculous name is just insulting it. That may not be the way the parents see it but that's the way everybody except them sees it, and they should consider that.

It's dumb. I remember an insurance claims adjuster named Holly Wood. Some parents have too much of a, uh, sense of humor, or something.

but so what - she can call herself something different when she gets older. Giving you a crappy name isn't the worst thing a parent can do.

No, don't euthanize the parents. It's shovel time for them instead!
