And you thought <i>Sunday Rose</i>, <i>Brooklyn</i> or <i>Apple</i> was bad

A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

Judge Rob Murfitt said that the name embarrassed the nine-year-old and could expose her to teasing.

He attacked a trend of giving children bizarre names, citing several examples.

Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed.

Words escape me. (unusual I know)

good grief. I suppose No 16 Bus Shelter was where the unfortunate mite was conceived.

These south sea islanders have form:

I think it is same as Mr Shing Ho Chu from China and Mr Hero Mitchuka Tiah from Hong Kong started a business in India as herbalists specializing in sexual disorder and impotency. After complete two months they were still waiting for their first patient.

Then they called in a local marketing expert and asked him for an advice.

�I could have easily been your first customer� he said, but looking at your business name I just walked away and I am sure same is the case with others.

�What is wrong with the business name� they asked him.

Chutiah consultants will not get you many patients. He said and walked away.

Just like those two, you need someone who understands the language.

How about the poor red indian boy?
One day he asked his mum how he got his name and she answered ' the medicine man names all the new babies you should ask him ' so the boy goes to the medicine man & asks him & he says 'it's very simple, after the baby is born I look out of the teepee & the first thing I see is the name I give the baby . Anyway 2 dogs f***ing , why do you ask?

Makes you think back to the slobs on Harry Enfield and the possibility that someone out there is called froggella!

[taichiperson]

That would be frogmella......
I apologise for being pedantic.

I bow to Tachi's superior knowledge! :c)

If only I have given birth to just one girl.

In my opinion, It's bordering on child abuse to give someone a deliberately stupid name.
Unfortunately there's no law preventing ********* from becoming parents.
