Metallica Metallicsson
I just read that a swedish couple has officially named their girl: Metallica.
It was not as easy as it sounds, they even had to go to court and all, but in the end, they got the approval!
It will be interesting to see what kind of music taste this child develops.. what if she ends up being totally into pop crap? Oooor what if it turns out she will be a solo singer, will she have to come up with an(other) artistic name?
At least, Metallica will have one thing to be proud of: her parents are no quitters!
I hope the court didnt grant an approval for the last name Metallicsson too. I know how lovely can 'matching names' sound to some (weird) swedish ears. Havent you met an Eric Ericsson, Johan Johansson, Martin Martinsson, Sven Svensson, etc?

And this story continues. The child was baptised on Sunday, just to on Monday receive a letter from the tax authority, saying that they are not approving her name. They think it sounds "too hard" and that it gives a commercial tone to the name since it's associated to the music group.
Huh!! Is this what my tax money in Sweden goes to?
I'll make sure I update the band about this when I see them live at the wembley ;)
