For Whom The swedish baby girl’s name Tolls Metallica, not! |
I’m a fan of early Metallica music who thinks their last album wasn’t anywhere close to the league of Ride the Lightning. My wife and I attended a Metallica and Godsmack concert a couple years ago and we own several of their albums. Oh, and I was disappointed in them going after fans for sharing their music. With all that, I still wouldn’t ever, ever, ever want to name a baby girl or boy Metallica.
Swedish authorities agree with this sentiment and have denied a couple who want to do exactly that.
Karolina and Michael Tomaro are facing a lengthy fight over their six-month-old daughter’s name, despite a recent victory, as the Swedish authorities have pledged to appeal a court’s decision that Metallica was a perfectly acceptable name for a girl.
These parents need to go back to baby naming school. Snark alert! Let’s think up some other good names for babies using band names: Megadeth, Poison, Hatebreed. I’m sure you can insert your favorite death metal band and come up with a perfectly acceptable name. A baby name band spinner.
At least they could have kept it something female like Iron Maiden.

Yeah maybe Metallica isn’t a perfect name but I love the name “Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette” which Penn Jillette named his daughter. I like variety and unique names myself.

Pity the poor kids who have to go through school with these weird names their parent’s think are so amusing. I can’t stand Johnny Cash at any price, but he got it about right with his “A boy names Sue” lyrics….kiddo had to fight his way through life, toughening up in the process. Let the kidlets challenge the norms when they’re old enough to handle any backlash, but for GAWDS sake don’t saddle ‘em with a moniker like motormouth Penn Jillette did. Wot a plonker..!!!
