A Romanian citizen has chosen to name his newborn daughter SLK in honour of the compact roadster Mercedes, Romanian media reported.
The Romanian, Caldarar, explained his choice for his baby girl's name with his love to the automobile.
Health officials from the obstetrics ward in the Romanian hospital tried to convince the man not to name his daughter with such a weird name, but the father said Mercedes SLK is one of the most famous models of the German automobile producer. Caldarar specified if the newborn was a boy, he would have named him BMW as these cars are very fast.
More than 100 years ago the trademark Mercedes was named after the 10-year-old daughter of the German businessman Gottlieb Daimler, who was one of the founders of Daimler-Benz Company.
