Introducing Metallica Helga Vilhelmina

For once, unconventional use of the name Metallica is being banned, and Lars Ulrich has nothing to do with it.  It seems that a Swedish couple has named their daughter "Metallica" and even had her baptized to reflect the name.  Unfortunately for them, the Swedish Tax Board is blocking use of the name.  They have to approve all names in Sweden.

The Tax Board cites a number of reasons that they won't allow the name.  First, the name is associated with the band Metallica and rock music.  Second, it contains the word "metal".  And finally, to quote, "It isn't a nice name".

The family defends their decision to name the child after the band by saying that she looks like a "Metallica".  I'm not sure that I know what a "Metallica" should look like, but I imagine something like the image below.
