Romanian Baby Named After Mercedes Model

A Romanian luxury car enthusiast has named his daughter SLK after the Mercedes model. According to Ananova, the man, from Chisinau Cris in Arad county, caused a stir with his choice of name. Ica Mladin, the head of the local registrar's office, said: ``This man walked in and said he wanted a birth certificate on the name SLK Caldarar. We found that very odd and tried to make him change his mind.’’
But the father insisted, saying he loves cars and if the baby had been a boy he would have been named BMW. He said: ``The SLK is one of the most famous models of the Mercedes class; it's expensive and beautiful. If I had had a boy, I would have named him BMW because this car's hot and runs very fast.’’

FOOTNOTE: They should have just called her Moniker.
