A kid named 'Metallica' is at the centre of a legal battle between her parents and the Swedish authorities.
Michael and Karolina Tomaro have already baptised their six-month-old daughter, but the Swedish National Tax Board rejected their application to register the name leaving the child without a passport.
"It suits her," said mother Karolina. "She's decisive and she knows what she wants."
And obviously as a six-month-old girl she knows that she wants to be called Metallica for the rest of her life.
The powers that be dismissed the application on the grounds that it was associated both with the band and the 'metal' genre as a whole and may cause the child suffering in later years.
There is, however, a woman in Sweden using 'Metallica' as a middle name; a fact the County Administrative Court in Goteborg cited as they backed the couple's right to name their daughter whatever they wished.
The case continues.
DiScuss: The parents say the name suits the child because she is "decisive" and "knows what she wants". Bearing this in mind, what band should your parents have named you after?
