I used search function, couldn't find it.

+ Show Spoiler +
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.

Just ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He had her renamed.

Judge Rob Murfitt made the 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, he said in a ruling made public Thursday. The girl was involved in a custody battle, he said.

The new name was not made public to protect the girl's privacy.

"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."

The girl had been so embarrassed at the name that she had never told her closest friends what it was. She told people to call her "K" instead, the girl's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.

In his ruling, Murfitt cited a list of the unfortunate names.

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.

New Zealand law does not allow names that would cause offense to a reasonable person, among other conditions, said Brian Clarke, the registrar general of Births, Deaths and Marriages.

Clarke said officials usually talked to parents who proposed unusual names to convince them about the potential for embarrassment.



lol, those names really are ridiculous. It is kind of an invasive ruling, but I think it was almost necessary, I mean look at her name and the other banned names.

"Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence, Sex Fruit" wtf?

Why would any parent name their child something like that? unless they actually wanted to ruin his/her life.

Fucking idiots.

Id say this is why people name their children in strange ways:
http://xkcd.com/327/

I've never quite understood the whole 'w00t unique name needed for baby!!! Lets name her... Dr Evil, or why not fish&chips?
Common sense in a judge? Whats the world coming to
Just because you can now store where everyone was and is, what they like, what they fear who they talk to and who they love. It does not mean we should so spy upon our fellow man in a dystopia far worse then 1984

I don't think it's invasive at all if it applies to children/minors. The main issue I would have with the ruling is how you would define a ridiculous/offensive name. Most examples given are obviously messed up, but how do you draw the line for kids with borderline names like "Violence" or "Poo" or "Osama?" (i.e. I knew someone in middle school named "shitti")

On the other hand, if you're 18+ and want your name to be "sex fruit," by all means go for it.

meh, just a loose example I thought of. Obviously nothing is wrong with the name itself, it's commonly accepted in Islamic culture, but in the US South where I'm at, someone named "Osama" would easily qualify as having a "social disability and handicap."

Now I ask you, what the fuck does this have to do with anything. Also one thing being more wrong than the other doesn´t make the other thing right, so I don´t understand what you´re trying to prove with that comparison.

Nothing was being proven, it is an observation which supports my belief that in order to have a child you should need a license. Sorry for not taking the time to create a more comprehensive agruement but as i am at work i do not have the time nor the inclination to discuss this futher.

Also, in the future, when trying to make a serious agruement i suggest u refrain from statements such as 'what the fuck...' as it detracts from what it is you are inquiring about and makes you like some random asshole on the internet who would rather post a flame then to actually take time to digest what it is you reading.

edit: rofl hawk my brother is married to a girl who's last name is 'head'. Her father's name is richard but everyone calls him dick

And how would you go and decide who gets a license and who doesn't? It'd impossible to regulate, that and it'd give the government power over who can get kids and who doesn't which is just wrong. Stupid suggestion, I didn't even see that you were going there with your original post because it's so rediculous.

I use what the fuck when I see fit, like when someone uses a thread to suggest rediculous ideas. I use it to express the sincerity my confusion, like why the fuck would you try and suggest such an idea without putting some thought into it first.

No, not at all. It's just saying the same thing twice. As it stands you're calling him a hairy penis every time you say his name.

How about Dick Trickle, though? Poor bastard. He grew up to be famous in the South, too. (Nascar driver)

Violence isn't as bad as the other ones, but still terrible. I work with a girl named Vanity. Also a terrible name.

Mistake would be a good name.

I don't really understand how you can name a person a phrase, but I mean, it's not like people are going to call the girl Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii... They're gonna call her Talula, or Tal. Big deal?

Kid's gonna be fucked up anyway if that's where its genetics are coming from. The officials probably just got tired of trying to convince some dumb ass stoners that their mentally handicapped child probably wasn't going to benefit from their idea of a clever name.

Although one name I think should definitely be banned is Dominick, and all its variations. I fucking hate that name and everyone who's name it is.

Worst shit, it shouldn't be illegal to name your kid anything you want. But it should be considered neglect or whatever and then the child should be asked and allowed to change its name if its over 6 years old or whatever.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

Those names are not borderline, excluding Osama, which is only if the person is actually arabic, or whatever culture that name comes from. If its a random white kid, odds are hes going to be made fun of AND have no cultural excuse for the name choice.

In response to your question: We would issue licenses much in the same way any license is issued ie gun car, boat, ect. if you are not familiar with the processes of recording/applying/issuing a license i feel there is little more i can do to alleviate your ignorance.

As for giving the government power over who should have kids; why not? Obviously its too much responsible for alot of individuals to have. Also i must point out that this agrument is about a personal belief i posses and not what i think is going to/needs to happen or something i would force on anyone.

One of the many problems we encounter when trying to handle an issue is that we often fixate on the problem itself rather then exploring solutions. I'd like to sum this up now and this will be the last post i make in this thread regardless of what is to follow.

You are critical of me because you feel my idea is 'redicilous' and thoughtless. In response i would agrue that while my idea is unrefined and unresearched it is far from thoughtless as i've spent much time and money sitting throught classes and attending sociology lectures brainstorming possible solutions to issues such as this. You do not have to agree with me, but you will respect my oppinion as it is every bit, if not more valid, then your own.

Worst shit, it shouldn't be illegal to name your kid anything you want. But it should be considered neglect or whatever and then the child should be asked and allowed to change its name if its over 6 years old or whatever.



what?

yeah, because im sure a 6 year old kid is going to go through whatever process to get their named changed

Someone I knew told me he knew a guy from high school called Lee Kee Kok. He's normally full of shit so I don't know if he made it up, but it sounds like a pretty realistic name

As for giving the government power over who should have kids; why not?

Laws of nature. It's a human being's natural inclination to be concerned about both his or her self-preservation, and to procreate. If you tell certain people they're not allowed to have kids (like say, anyone in the slums because they often grow up to be criminals [and this would of course be seen as a racist initiative given that most people living in American slums are not white]), they're not really going to care about any of the laws in the country anymore. Human beings want to live in society for their own benefits (safety and security), but you're basically saying the government should be allowed to take away the basic meanings of what it is to live as a human being. If you see what I'm getting at, I'm referring to Thomas Hobbes' theories (although he didn't give a fuck about offspring) and saying that even under an all powerful leviathan-like government, if you take away the only things citizens truly care about, they'll have no reason to obey. You can't order someone to kill themselves, and you can't order someone not to procreate. If you could, Hitler would have just told Jewish people to kill themselves and not procreate; He knew he had to force them.

I read somewhere recently...in Europe somewhere, possibly Sweden...some parents were trying to name their child something like Pcxxxkddzzkkccc11 or something like that.

The addition of numbers at the end were lolsworthy.

They got fined I believe.

touche', i agree. Your examples are extreme but are valid. I still beleive some form of mass control needs to be implemented, as many peopel fail their offspring, in order to assure the survival of future generations but perhaps licensing baby's is a bit too much.

hm my mom actually mentioned a student she had whom had a swedish citizenship and he had gone to sweden to legally change his name to X

and legislating procreation is obviously retarded as fuck, it doesnt even need an elaborate counterarguement.

Won't be long before people start naming their kids XxSasuke93xX or some shit. I can imagine the conversation...

"Hey honey, the baby's kicking! I really think we should hurry up with a name, you know?"

"We should, but I don't have any--oh, here's an idea. Remember 20 years ago when that game Runescape was still around? How about we name him after my character? XxSasuke93xX!"

"Oh that's a wonderful idea! It's such a unique name, too!"

Just name one of your kids a name then finish it with your other kid. for example

G. Reat is number one
F. Uck is number two

then send them into the porn business as slutty twin girls.

hardly surprising, if you knew anything about New Zealand you'd know that most of the population consists of sheep, and the rest all dress in grass skirts and have tattooed faces
iirc the concerned judge is a sheep btw. he doesn't need a wig, he just perms his wool.

I'm saying that it annoys me that Taylor went from being a guys name to a girl name. That in itself I can live with, that shift happened before I can remember. Its just the shift in general. Do you know some girls are going by Jack and Rob now? New age idiots think names like that are cool, or naming your kid apple/blanket/bottle/shoe lace. I mean....come on people.

The single most popular name for Korean dogs is "Happy." The way it's pronounced, sounds closer to "Herpes" without the s at the end. Very disturbing.
