This is crazy ****. I know you always hear of mad things parents name their kids but I've never heard anything as bad as Talua Does the Hula from Hawaii. Some of the disallowed ones are class tho. Sex Fruit for example and Fish and Chips for twins hahahahaa

"Number 16 Bus Shelter" was allowed!!!! LMAO!!!:D

Parents who are so stupid that they would give their children bizarre names are obviously too immature to have kids. They are putting their children at risk of bullying and mocking for no good reason whatsoever.

Mossy Monk

That was a great read. They must be on some magical brain altering substances in New Zealand.

Isn't Beckham's kid Brooklyn named after the place he was concieved just as well it wasn't Peckham that they did the durty deed in.

Talula DTHFH must be named after their favourite song, right? It's not a great policy. My eldest would be called "Hey". It would be hard to get his attention in a crowd.

What would your kids be called?

Pure class!

Any other crazy names???

A JUDGE in New Zealand has deplored the use of unusual children’s names after he made a nine-year-old girl called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii a ward of court so her unfortunate moniker could be changed at her request.

Some of the rather creative names allowed by New Zealand registration officials and criticised by Judge Rob Murfitt include Number 16 Bus Shelter and Midnight Chardonnay. The judge described as “tragic” the decision to register one child under the name Violence.

The parents of twins were permitted to name their offspring Benson and Hedges, after the cigarette brand.

Among the names rejected by registration officials were Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit. One mother even attempted to use SMS language for her daughter’s name.

In that case, the girl was initially called O.crnia, but the name was changed to Oceania during negotiations over a parenting order.

The judge listed the outlandish names in his written ruling on a custody battle over Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, who lived with her family on New Zealand’s North Island.

A lawyer told the court the girl was so embarrassed by her name, she did not even tell her friends.

She said her name was “K” because she feared being “mocked and teased”, the lawyer added.

Judge Murfitt said such names risked exposing children to ridicule.

“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 court was told the girl fully understood the absurdity of her name, unlike her parents who had apparently not considered the implications of their unusual choice.

The judge ordered that the court take custody of the girl until her name could be formally changed. The ruling was issued in February but only came to light in law reports made public this week. The girl has since changed her name, but it has not been disclosed in order to protect her privacy.

Registrar Brian Clarke said New Zealand law prohibits names that would offend a reasonable person, that consist of more than 100 characters or that include titles, military rank, punctuation or numerals.

Crazy people. You know things are bad when a 9 year old has better judgement than her parents.

So given the choice, what crazy name would have liked to have been called? Or are all the Johns, Pauls, Marys & Anns of Boards happy with their safe names?

Naos

Violence.

Ps. This thread's been created already, you may have saved face by asking what people would like to be called.

I'm quite happy with my safe name tbh.... but seen as how someone is called "Number 16 Bus Shelter", i'd like to go as..."Terry's Island Cattle Pass"... Ladies, form an orderly queue please!

"Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii"? That's not a name, that's a sentence (At least the judge has ruled it's not going to be a life sentence)

What's the full story with that anyhoo? I know they can't disclose the poor 9 year olds real name but was she "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii Jones"? Or did they have "Talula Does The Hula" as her first name and "From Hawaii" as her surname?

That'd be awkward when filling in forms

Surname: From Hawaii
Address: Pittsburgh
First Name: Talula Does The Hula
Hobbies: ...

It would look like you got the questions mixed up!

Yes, I wonder about some of the people there........ I've heard of a child named "Mt Roskill Bus Stop" too in Auckland. Never actually met the kid face to face but it's a name that most people there would mention to others.
