"A Boy Named Sue" pales in comparison with the names some parents in New Zealand have selected
for reasons best unknown. Concerned judge Roy Muffit has stepped in to stop the madness, though
Talula had to wear hers for nine years.
Nine- year- old Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii - my but it rolls off of the tongue, has asked people to call her "K" most of her life. Muffit has ruled to change her name. Unfortunately the court cannot rule to spay or neuter the parents who show such poor judgment, and one cannot help but wonder what prompted some of these doozies. Not content to memorialize the flaky thoughts which obviously inspired some names elsewhere, they hang them on their babies. New Zealand law does not allow names that would "cause offense to a reasonable person" according to the registrar, some of the other names blocked are : Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. Talula must have slipped by them. Others were inexplicably allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said. Go figure eh?
