Crazy baby namers get the go ahead

A Swedish couple has won a second court battle to name their daughter Metallica after Gothenburg tax officials rejected the name.

That Swedish couple who were told they couldn't call their daughter Metallica have managed to get that decision reversed. Poor child. As previously reported, the name was rejected as inappropriate by tax officials in the city of Gothenburg, despite a local court approving it, which meant the family had to take the case back to court for a second time. But they won. Again.

The baby girl's mother Karolina Tomaro told local paper Göteborgs-Posten that the decision was a relief. "It feels good", she said. "Several people suggested I should move to where they live, because then our daughter wouldn't have any problem in being named Metallica".
