I once met a Welsh girl at a pretty fucked up party who told me her name was "Belle-Marie" which soon turned to "Bill Murray" and eventually "Bob Marley".

If they were really fans they would name the kid "Nesta"

I know of a girl from my town named Metallica, and I sorta know a guy who named his baby Primus.

I have a friend who is a big Stones fan so he named his kids Marlon and Jade

my parents' across-the-street neighbor named his kid Journey.

p sure Ras-Trent would name his first kid Marley to compensate for having had to cut off his dreads when he needed that office job.

Gonna name my kid The Who. I can't see that resulting in any confusion.

I can't believe there's a kid out there named Primus.

This is blowing my mind.

What's you name? Oh hey, I'm Primus.

My sister works at a veterinary clinic, and she often has to take care of two dogs that get boarded there a lot named Winger and Dio. Even for dog names I thought that was kind of questionable, but that seems like nothing compared to babies named Metallica and Primus.

some folks i know named their kid carter cash.

Oh hey, I'm Primus.

Presumably that was his firstborn. Maybe this was a common name back in Roman times.

carter cash

At least those are names independent of the rock connections. It's still pretty bad though.

Juggy Brottleteen (ENBB), Monday, 7 November 2011 18:17 (twelve years ago) link

OK I kind of love Winger and Dio the dogs. lol.

Juggy Brottleteen (ENBB), Monday, 7 November 2011 18:18 (twelve years ago) link

Dio clearly the alpha-male, always beating up on poor old Winger

I had no idea this was a Bob Marley tribute! A girl who lived down the street when I was a kid is named Marley.

Didn't a Swedish court actually prevent parents from naming their kid "Metallica" once?

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 7 November 2011 18:54 (twelve years ago) link

No, they ruled it was OK!: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_law_in_Sweden#Metallica

I never met Metallica, but people told me she was nice and mostly into hip hop. I think ILX's rabies might've met her. Primus's dad is a deadbeat who split for Portland or Eugene soon after the birth so he could find himself, I think.
