Not only are the kids named Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera, but Metallica’s middle name is And Justice For All, which, of course, is a tribute to Metallica’s 1988 album.
According to a tweet from the journalist, David Farrier, there are no restrictions on what you can name your children in New Zealand, as long as it’s not terribly offensive. Obviously, Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera aren’t offensive whatsoever, so the names are legit!
If you named your kid after your favorite band, what would it be?
