Metallica 'no name for a girl'

From correspondents in Stockholm
April 05, 2007 01:33am
Article from: The Daily Telegraph

METALLICA may be a cool name for a rock band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince officials it works 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 band.
Little Metallica has been baptised but the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was linked with the band and the word "metal".
"It suits her - she's decisive and knows what she wants," Mrs Tomaro said.

The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg but the tax agency appealed to a higher court.
