[quote]A judge attacked a bizarre trend in New Zealand for giving children strange names as he made a nine-year-old called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii a ward of court.
Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt listed a series of unfortunate names that he said were embarrassing or made children seem foolish among their peers.
Some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, were blocked by registration officials, he said.
But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter, Midnight Chardonnay, "and tragically, Violence," the judge said.
The names were mentioned in Murfitt's decision on a custody battle over the nine-year-old girl from the North Island town of Hawera, who was so embarrassed at the name her parents had given her - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii - that she never told her closest friends what it was.
She told people her name was "K" because she feared being "mocked and teased," the girl's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court.
This is not the first time that New Zealand authorities have had to intervene over a bizarre baby name. In August 2007, Pat and Sheena Wheaton were told by government officials that they couldn’t name their baby 4Real as it contained a digit. The couple simply reconsidered and re-named their child Superman.
The trend for crazy baby monikers has also extended to Europe. In June 2008, Swedish tax authorities informed a Stockholm couple they must change the name of their 5-month-old baby girl Elvis. Another Swedish family recently won a protracted battle to ensure their daughter was allowed to keep the name Metallica.[/quote]
Bad news, I was thinking of calling my future son Mittens.
My rofl copter was going soi soi soi soi

I look back at this post and see myself as an idiot, and facepunch agrees with what I have said
wat
I'm going to name two of my kids salt and vinegar
I'm going to name my baby boy Blanket.
I'm going to re-name my 16 year old son Buttercup.
Crap, I was gonna name my son Marlafarlagerpeedoo The Fat Skinny Piglet of Lion Sex Doom.
If I were to have a boy, I'd name him (anyone knowing German will understand this) Soldat (if you don't know German, it means Soldier). If I had a girl, it'd be Hctib [Hic-tib]. You'd be amazed how few people would realize the subtle meaning behind that.
Just how a court in Japan rejected the name Akuma for a baby.
No one should have to grow up with a horrible name.
This is stupid.
I'm named after a guy in a TV show..

It's hardly subtle.
Especially because LFG features a character called Hctib Elttil.
What's wrong with Elvis? That's actually a normal name...
And Rob Murfitt isn't a bizarre name?
Haha, Number 16 Bus Shelter? Oh my god, I'm totally going to name my child that.

That's Leopold "Butters" Stotch.

That's my point. It's barely subtle, but so few people would really notice.
Fuck, I was going to name my first born son Heimdall.
My first name is Stryder, you know how annoying it was to play through the city levels of half-life 2?
[QUOTE=lil_n00blett]Haha, Number 16 Bus Shelter? Oh my god, I'm totally going to name my child that.[/QUOTE]
Another name somewhat related to names like Paris or Elevator - THEY ARE NAMED AFTER WHERE THEY WERE CONCEIVED! :uhoh:
