NZ Judge has 9 y.o. girl renamed

Her original name was Talulah Does the Hula From Hawaii.

I think celebs should take note of what the judge said:


"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."



I mean, you don't want yr kid to get their ass beat everyday on the playground because of their name.



Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said.



Keenan Got Lucy & Sex Fruit is the name of my new band.

Anyone who chooses to name their kid 'Number 16 Bus Shelter' should have the child removed from them, permanently. Fuckwits.

Parents in Sweden last year fought to keep their baby daughter named Metallica. They won.

Hopefully Lars won't try to sue for royalties when she starts working.

Children treat each other horribly. Who's to say if you give a kid a stupid name to be ridiculed that it won't distract other children from ridiculing them for being fat, or being skinny, being short, or tall, or having red hair, long hair, short, hair, glasses, braces, buck teeth, or missing teeth, for being too smart, for being too dumb, or any of the thousands of other things kids will ridicule them about? Arguably, its better to go through school being known has "stupidly named kid" than say, "fatty four eyes."

The only person I can think of from elementary school who is probably horribly scarred from having a dumb name was the dude whose last name was McKracken. The fact that he was forever linked to a story about being caught masturbating in the bathroom probably had more to do with the fact that his last name rhymed with whackin' then him actually ever being caught jerking off. Nonetheless, Whackin' McKraken he was.

Your child's name is not an accessory...it is their name.

You ought to be fucking flogged for giving your kid a stupid name. Family names are okay...ethnic names are okay...but it's the novelty names that piss me off.

So many times...you hear the parents try to justify it by saying "I want my child to be an individual". If you want your child to be an individual...take an interest in their lives, be a good parent...and support their hopes & wishes...and they'll be an individual.

The only think you;re doin gby giving your kid a stupid name...is ensuring their future as a fry cook or a stripper.

I remember all the kidsboys of the Bates family. Not that any of them had much going for them anyway. Yeah, that really helped them grow into model citizens.

Florida, as usual, shines.

An Orlando man has traded the naming rights to his unborn son for a $100 gas card.

David Partin recently heard that a local radio station was giving $100 worth of free gas to the listener who called in with the most interesting item to trade. Central Florida radio hosts Richard Dixon and J. Willoughby were quick to take Partin up on his offer.

When the baby is born this winter, he will be named Dixon and Willoughby Partin -- with the ''and'' included.

Partin's girlfriend, Samantha, says at least her son will have an interesting story about how he got his name.

Dixon and Willoughby plan to be at the hospital when the baby is born and will hand over the gas card when they see the official birth certificate.

Wow. On top of his ridiculous name, that kid is going to have to grow up in Florida.

I heard a story several years ago about a woman whose first language was not English wanting to name her newborn daughter Gonorrhea because it sounded so lyrical and feminine.

And then there were my cousins' friends, Latrine and Placenta. No joke.

That's straight out of Cormac McCarthy's Child of God. The man who could barely read read and only owned a medical dictionary, so he named his daughters after body parts. Not that I'm saying that about your aunt and uncle mind, just reminded me of that novel.

I have actually witnessed a little girl skipping out into the street and her mother yelling at her "LATRINE! GET YO ASS BACK HERE!" I was dumbfounded.
