Bolivian Parents Explain Decision To Name Newborn Son 'Iron Maiden' And The Reason Is Amazing

A couple in Bolivia has named their son Iron Maiden in tribute to the heavy metal icons. ATB Digital (via Blabbermouth) reports that the father, a superfan named César Durán Alpiri, explained that the band's mascot Eddie was the driving force behind the name.  

Surrounded by Iron Maiden merchandise, César explained, "It has a lot to do with Eddie, The Head of Iron Maiden. I want my son to have that strength, that energy." He tells Ruptly TV in the video below, "I want him to fight for what he wants, to have the attitude and, above all, to be mentally strong."

For the skeptics , César and his wife posted baby Iron Maiden's birth certificate on social media.  

Let's just hope little baby Iron Maiden grows up to love heavy metal.
