Metallica is a girl's name

[Jimmy?]

It is official according to the Swedish authorities

Parents in Sweden have been given the go ahead to name their seven-month-old baby daughter Metallica.

The girl's parents wanted to give their daughters a name that combined their first names. They picked Metallica and after checking twice with the Swedish tax agency Skatteverket if the name was acceptable, they were told that it shouldn't be a problem, as there was a girl already called Metallica in Sweden.

When they filed Metallica as one of girl's three first names the tax agency objected, claming that it was inappropriate because a it was the name of the band and the fact it was too close to the word "metal".

The parents appealed to the district court, which ruled that the use of the name wouldn't pose any problems for either the girl or anyone she comes into contact with.

One member of the jury objected to the ruling, suggesting the name probably would cause discomfort to the person who bears it, Swedish paper GP reports.

People can stop you from naming your kid what you want?

[Jimmy?]

^ That's what I was wondering....Sweden obvioulsly have certain laws in place. Any Scandinavians around to clarify?

[CheapJon]

yeah we have some law about that, i think other countries has that as well, don't see many british kids named "monkey"

[Jimmy?]

^ We don't have a law here in Britain.....as far as I know

try to name your kid Aerosmith in that case, that would kick ass

[Jimmy?]

Would be cool....My g/friend says if she had a daughter, she'd name her Patience. Thought it was a well cool name.

[Jackamo!]

I'm gonna name my kid after a gnr song too: "TWAT" 

[Jimmy?]

Haha....might be the subject of some hardcore bullying at school. And will be probably grow up to be a Pornstar

I actually don't think that's all that bad of a name.

'Metallica' that is, not 'TWAT'.

[CheapJon]

I hope that if i get kids when i'm older that the woman i get 'em with agrees to name 'em axl, iggy n' ozzy (i'm dead serious too )

[BlowUpYourVideo]

^What, no Lemmy?

[CheapJon]

hmm, well forget about ozzy, i take lemmy, i think it's a bigger chance of that being allowed then ozzy thanks BUYV


so now it is axl, iggy and lemmy, but it'll probably be one named axl iggy persson and the other lemmy something persson the girls name would be alice, maria or lisa probably, i have already decided that it'll be at least 2 boys then a girl

[Jimmy?]

^ What if you don't have any boys?

[CheapJon]

Don't ruin my dreams of the perfect family dude

[Jimmy?]

Sorry CheapJon....."You will have boys, you will have boys........."

I think it's so that the child wont get bullied and stuff in school and other places.. the law is probably for the children best not the law enforcers (or what it's called)

[GNRreunioneventually]

i'd name my kids like Axl, Ace, Izzy or Ozzy, and if its a girl i'm gonna name her Patience ( i thought i was the only one that thought about that one ) Saleen, Michel, or Marie

now i just need to find a women




but that Metallica is pretty cool too i wonder if she'll grow up to like tham or not.
