Title: Couple fights to name baby 'Metallica'
Post by: freya86 on April 03, 2007, 09:34:05 PM
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.  (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070403/ap_on_fe_st/baby_metallica)

The "llica" part sounds like it could be a girl's name, but what the heck, give those retards what they want.

They probably wouldn't have to fight so hard if they just chose a better name, like Anthrax.(http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/1180/buttrockwt0.gif)

i think metallica is a nice name. If they are finding it ugly, i think they should also ban the rock group named such, as well. May be even the rock group should also appeal to the officials ........ now that would be something worth the talk...... what say?!!!!

Well I think it's a stupid name... Children shouldn't be advertisements of their parents' hobbies.

But I still think they should allow it. It is pronounceable and much more like a real name comparing to these other cases in Sweden where parents have named their children by numbers and codes.

There already is a woman named Metallica in sweden. And the tax departement didn't want to "make the same mistake twice" by letting this baby has that name too *hahaah*

Anthrax is such a cool fuckin' band, and naming a kid that would be major funny.
(I spent a night drinking with Scottie in an Osaka bar one night, when he was here with S.O.D..)

Think Pantera would make a pretty sweet name for a girl.

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

who are they to judge? actually Metallica is a cool name, and the authorities should keep their hands off family matters

What if I want to name my baby Michael Jackson? will they dissaprove too? :D

Exhibitionists. "Oh yeah, now we want the whole world to know what kind of music we are crazy about", as if anyone cares. They should have changed their own names, but ok...
If there is no strict law prohibiting such idiotic names, they should allow it. It is her parents who will have to deal with it.

I don't mind naming Metallica for the little girl. It's just that I remember some of our local movie where a man named his 6 adopted child after a car manufacturer like Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Etc...  ;D

OMG...hhaahaha   :tantrum:

after that whole napster thing and their 'reality-show' 'rockumentary' movie, they've already been one of the biggest  ;D ...

I still dig their old stuff; but the current albums are more like an indie-band project than the old great  >:D (with the edged logo, etc..)

who knew it'd someday be a girl's name too  ;)
