A Swedish couple wants to name their child “Metallica.” Swedish officials, who can nix “weird” names, have done so. We never ended up talking about it during Fatherhood week, but I actually think giving your kids offbeat names is sort of cool. (And it doesn’t get more offbeat than Lars Ulrich. Zing!) [BBC]
Where every man is king.
My favorite weird celebrity kid name is Pilot Inspektor. Moxie Crimefighter is pretty cool, too, though.
I think you should be able to name your child anything you want, feel free to run wild with the implications of this.
Having said that, I think parent’s should just be aware that while they may feel they are just damn clever for besotting their darling child with the “best” name ever, their kid is getting the ever-loving shit kicked out of them at school.
There’s nothing quite like pre-emptively nuking your child’s social existence from the womb.
I dunno, I think “Metallica” makes a pretty decent chick name. It sounds glittered and feminine, while also smacking of some kind of edge. I’d like to think that a child raised by parents who’d name her thusly would grow into a name like that.
On the other hand, I also think that Jaundice sounds like a perfectly nice girl’s name, like Candice, or Beatrice.
Jaundice is pretty. I’ve often thought the same of Syphilis. See, this is why we can’t have children.
Verucca. Good name for a girl.
Dude, if she’s a girl she’s gonna hate. think about kurt kobain’s kid, that pinkish girl who wants to sing with christina aguilera.Maybe young bright metallica will listen to RBD or britney spears/pussycat dolls or shit.
