Don't you call ME Ugly

[Doug Harris]

The Associated Press reported this afternoon (Tuesday) that officials at
Sweden's National Tax Board, who apparently have WAY too much time on their
hands, have rejected a couple's plea to name their daughter Metallica.
Though the mother says "It suits her; She's decisive and she knows what she
wants," the Board "refused to register the name, saying it was associated
with both the rock group and the word 'metal'," according to the AP report.
The next line:
"[The mother] said the official handling the case also called the name
'ugly'."

Lordy! Wouldn't they have fun with some of the more inventive names now
showing up on American birth certificates!!!
