A New Zealand mother has reportedly named her three children Metallica, Slayer and Pantera.
The news of the unidentified woman's choice of names for her kids was first broken by New Zealand journalist and documentary filmmaker David Farrier (Netflix's "Dark Tourist").
"Proud to report that a New Zealand mother has named her children Metallica, Pantera and Slayer," Farrier wrote on his Twitter. "She told me, 'It's not easy raising three of the heaviest bands.'"
Farrier went on to say that he has seen the birth certificates of all three kids and admitted that he was was initially suspicious, especially after noticing that Metallica had a middle name of "And Justice For All", in honor of the band's fourth album.
"I reached out to the Registrar-General himself, asking if there are any restrictions naming babies after band names, or albums," Farrier wrote. New Zealand Registrar-General Jeff Montgomery answered that "there are no restrictions on naming babies after bands or albums, as long as the word used is not generally considered to be offensive or does not resemble an official rank or title."
Farrier shared a photo of the woman and included the following message: "I think it's important to note (as you can see in the photo in my article) this mother is also a big fan of crossbows, which are also truly metal, and she deserves our complete and utter respect for this (and for raising three kids)."
According to Good Housekeeping, very few baby names in the United States are actually forbidden, with naming laws set by each state and some states having more requirements than others. In some other countries, however, there are much stricter naming laws, with some requiring parents to choose from a pre-approved list of names, or petition the government to add a name to the list.

one of my best friends in high school has 3 sons, it wasn’t until they were graduating college (together) when his wife made a realization. His sons names were: Lawrence, Moses & Joseph. The dean doing the commencement let the cat out of the bag. Initially, my friends wife was disturbed that she didn’t get it, but finally laughed about her husbands sense of humor.

Lawrence aka Larry, Moses aka Mo, & Joseph aka Curly Joe
Indeed!
She could have named one them Yngwie.
No love for Megadeth?
Same here. The first “paid” show was late 90’s and I think they were playing with Motorhead as a double bill. They sucked. Overrated. I got it because my bud was selling weed and knew the security guy. The second was the BIG 4. I just wanted to hear “Raining Blood” and that’s it LOL
The reason why I respect Pantera was when they double-billed with ROB ZOMBIE. Rob Zombie does NOT sound like what you hear on the CD’s, live. Terrible. Pantera came in and blew everyone away.
Mama loves her 1980s.
Debbie just hit the wall, she never had it all
One Prozac a day, husband’s a CPA
Her dreams went out the door when she turned twenty-four
Only been with one man, what happened to her plan?
She was gonna be an actress, she was gonna be a star
She was gonna shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake’s car
Her yellow SUV is now the enemy
Looks at her average life and nothin’ has been alright
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘Cause she’s still preoccupied
With 19, 19
1985
She’s seen all the classics, she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink, even St. Elmo’s Fire
She rocked out to Wham, not a big Limp Bizkit fan
Thought she’d get a hand on a member of Duran Duran
Where’s the mini-skirt made of snakeskin?
And who’s the other guy that’s singin’ in Van Halen?
When did reality become TV?
What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?
(On the radio was)
Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool

She hates time, make it stop
When did Motley Crue become classic rock? (Classic rock)
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop, stop, stop
And bring back Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
‘Cause she’s still preoccupied
1985 (woo-hoo-hoo)
Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna
Way before Nirvana
There was U2 and Blondie
And music still on MTV
Her two kids in high school
They tell her that she’s uncool
But she’s still preoccupied

I am not condoning vandalism. But if some kid put a "t" between the "n" and "e" it would make my day.
Not that I would, but Mrs. DoodleBob would flay me alive if I did that.

when I see Panera, I always read it AS Pantera’ for some reason..
What? No Whiteshark?
She had no choice. Moon Unit and Dweezil were taken.
It would be something if Pantera had a restaurant chain.
my dad thought highly of Blackie Lawless haha
He is an interesting cat.
For all the complainers, they can move to Sweden where one has to submit the name first to the government so that it can be approved beforehand.
Start with their '06 debut "Age of Winters".
Neck tattoos on a broad. Awesome.
I used to have a Dachshund named Scrat, after the saber-toothed squirrel in Ice Age, because she was the spitting image and behaved just like her. But this is taking it a bit far. Sounds like Mama has got a drive-thru bedroom and these kids will grow up with either very good or very bad childhoods.
I kind of like Sabaton.
