Would you name your baby 'Metallica'?

[Woody]

This is about as retarded as the couple who named their kid 'ESPN'.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Metallica may be a cool name for a heavy metal band, but a Swedish couple is struggling to convince officials it is also suitable 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 legendary rock band.

"It suits her," Karolina Tomaro, 27, said Tuesday of the name. "She's decisive 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."

Tomaro said the official handling the case also called the name "ugly."

When this girl scared me into thinking I knocked her up, I told her I wanted to at least name it. I always thought Boy George Hurley would've rocked! Too bad she was yanking my chain to get me to stay with her.
