For the purists out there, we are most definitely not saying that heavy metal and hard rock are the same genre. We've merely bunched the two together in this list for that more extreme rocker vibe you might be after than found in our rock 'n' roll list.
From Lemmy to Lars, and Simone to Sabine, we've mined the goldfields of heavy metal and hard rock for baby names that will rock your world.
There are some rarely-used gems (especially for girls) in this list if you're after something unique; even if you're not fond of these genres of music, take a gander to see if a name gels with you.
