It's a shame parenting doesn't require a license or at least some kind of test before people are allowed to shoot DNA at each other.
Saw this on the news earlier in the week, i just cant understand what is going on or through the parents minds at the time? It just doesnt make sense why you would call them such stupid names. A name should be one word long as such, or double barrelled ( Like MARY JANE ) not a bloody statement or a sentence, 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii' WTF? Oh and the Fish and Chips one? They were twins, one called fish the other chips...
Yeah, I read this on yahoo yesterday. I had a good laugh on some of them. But seriously, wtf? Number 16 Bus Shelter? Talula Does the.... (I'm already too tired writing that one). Think about that one for a second. There are kids (notice the plural) out there with the name "Number 16 Bus Shelter". Honestly! Edit: This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George wants to name his son Seven. That was a possibility with a pair of my friends' dogs. Along with Seek and Destroy, Simon and Garfunkel, KC and The Sunshine Band, Yin and Yang, Itch and Scratchy, Bonnie and Clyde, etc...
I think it should be allowed, as long as the parents names are changed to either 'Cock' or 'Simpleton'.
There was a guy here in Denver recently convicted of a double murder his name was Sir Mario... yep, Mr. Sir Mario Owens. Of course, there are much worse ones as listed in the article.
Normally I'm not a fan of government interference... but in this case, I sympathize. A gibberish or slightly embarrassing name, fine, leave it. But something that really isn't a name at all? Blegh. (A coworker of mine claims he knows a guy named Dick Cox. I'm not believing that one until I see his driver's license, but quite frankly, stupider things have happened. Like the customer liaison named Wreak Havoc. Although he may have picked that one himself, I never did find out.)
Probaby a Richard Cox, shortened by your friend to Dick Cox. I laughed hard at the 4Real -> Superman name change in the article and Talula too. Poor kids...
Around where I live the last name Dyck ( Pronounced 'DICK' ) is fairly common and im pretty sure there are people with a first name of Harry making them Harry Dyck = Hairy Dick. Or for girls with a first name of Anita then they are Anita Dyck. lol
I think Chinese names are crazier... Utophat, etc... Im going to name my kid underpants, as that is where they came from!
Man, and I thought naming kids after celebrities was stupid - That list takes the biscuit! I wonder if anyone's tried to name their child after a PC component..
Yeah, probably. I'm still not believing it without legal proof. Front side bus? SATA? How about Gigahertz? That could be classy.
For the few of you that don't know, Frank Zappa named his children: Moon Unit Dweezil (the hospital refused to register the Zappa's chosen name. He has since legally changed his name to Dweezil.) Ahmet Emuukha Rodan Diva Magika (nee Muffin). When asked why he had given his children these names, he replied: I'm don't really like parents giving their children silly names per se, but when Frank Zappa does it it seems ok
I have heard of other equally lovely names such as Abcde and sh**head. I've also worked with a guy unfortunately named Richard Puffer. Needless to say he went by Frank for obvious reasons. It is sad that these parents don't consider what damage this will do to their kids later in life. Here in Orlando a local radio station was running a contest asking listeners to name what they would trade for a $100 gas card. The winner was some idiot actually gave away the naming rights to his unborn child in exchange.This kid's name will be Dixon and Willoughby Partin. And yes the AND is part of the name. You can read the article on the Orland Sentinel's website here.
