ENTERTAINMENT Swedish authorities reject couple's baby name choice
STOCKHOLM, Sweden — Metallica may work as a name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince authorities it's also suitable for a baby girl.
Sweden's tax agency rejected Michael and Karolina Tomaro's application to name their 6-monthold daughter after the legendary rock band.
"It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27.
said Tuesday of the name "She's
said and she knows what she wants"
Although little Metallica has already been baptized, the Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was associated with both the rock group and the word "metal."
In Sweden, parents must get the names of their children approved by the tax authority, which is in charge of the population registry and issues personal identification numbers, similar to Social Security numbers in the United States.
The couple was backed by the County Administrative Court in Goteborg, which ruled on March 13 that there was no reason to block the name. It also noted that there already is a woman in Sweden with Metallica as a middle name.
the case also called the name "ugly."
Tomaro, who has appealed the decision, said the official handling
"We've had to cancel trips and can't get anywhere because we can't get her a passport without an approved name,"Tomaro said.
The tax agency appealed to a higher court, frustrating the family's foreign travel plans.
