Judge rules name change for 9-year-old girl

A New Zealand judge has ordered that the parents of nine-year-old “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii” must change her name to something without a heavy embarrassment factor attached to it.

Family court judge Rob Murfitt quite correctly stated that highly bizarre names create social hurdles as children grow up, and it’s not much better in adult life either.

“She fears being mocked and teased and in that she has a greater level of insight than either of her parents,” he said of the girl, who was known to her friends simply as “K”.

Two other weird names given to children were “Number 16 Bus Shelter” and “Midnight Chardonnay”, possibly in reference to a time or place of conception, but far less classy than the Beckhams’ son Brooklyn, named for the same reason.

One child was called “Violence”, while two pairs of twins were called Benson and Hedges. and Fish and Chips. Yet another family named their kids after six-cylinder Ford cars.

Naming your child after a pizza is one thing, but this sort of naming is just ridiculous.
