What if they named her rock ’n’ roll?
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
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, who 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.”
1 he Swedish National Tax Board refused to register the name, saying it was asso
ciated with both the rock group and the word “metal.” Tomaro said the official han
dling the case also called the name “ugly.”
NOTED. A woman is suing her dance part
ner, claiming he dropped her on her head after
flipping her into the air at an office party.
Lacey Hindman, 22, was a victim of “negli
gent dancing,” said her lawyer, David M. Baum.
Hindman said that during a party at a Chicago
bar and restaurant in April 2006, David Prange
grabbed her by the forearms and tossed her in the
air, and then she crashed to the wood floor.
