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.

My child has no problems with his first name. He is called David.
My surname, however, is Cock. -

I am appalled by bizzare children's names, I gave my lads simple names like Mike Hunt and Eric Hunt. Just as my partner Pam Mycock did when she called her son Aaron.
