Judge condemns bizarre child names
A judge has 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 so that she can change her name and put an end to playground taunts. Some examples of names given to children in New Zealand include Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi, Sex Fruit, and Benson and Hedges (for twins).
Do you think it is a form of abuse to give your child a bizarre name? Do you know someone with a strange moniker? Share your thoughts.

Boudiccia's mum from Iceni Tribe says:Aug 14, 23:25
PETER, Boudiccia was a purer Briton than you or I. She was born and bred in the Southeast England and earned her place as a British Queen! Get your facts right before you penalise!

Sometimes it's a way for the parents to get attention for themselves. Look at the beckham's kid, Brooklyn...ooh, arr, Dippy must have shagged Skeleton in Brooklyn NY, right? It's more likely they conceived the lad in Manhattan but then he would be "Manny Beckham", wouldn't he? That wouldn't do...
