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.
Remember the trouble I had when my daddy named me 'Sue'
yes it is a form of abuse ,poor kids lumbered with stupid names.The parents dont have the brains they were born with ,obviously!!Its nice to be different ,but that is just taking the p out of the kids!!!
How about the name Gordon Brown. What a fricking stupid name that is.
What sort of knob head would call their children 'Benson & Hedges'!!!???
Hell,i'd love to call my dog 'f**king *anker' cos he can be a complete pain the ass at times,but common sense says no!
It should really be considered as a form of abuse if you label your baby with a title that will just cause them lots of pain and suffering in future. You’re not allowed to get your baby tattooed or pierced, so why should you be allowed to give it some stupid name that seems cool or is just some kind of fad for the parent. Do these people really love their children? Or do they just want to look chic amongst their friends because their baby has a name that no other has, no matter how ludicrous it is. These “parents” don’t deserve children if you ask me, because they are obviously only fashion accessories. The innocent children as they grow up are then forced to either take their parents to court or change their name when they are old enough, but by then they have probably suffered hell every day at school.
The first gift you give your child is a name, what kind of blueprint is it for the future of that child if their name is just a joke!
