A 9 year old girl named "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii" has been made a ward of court in New Zealand so she could change her name. She was too embarrassed to use it and insisted friends just called her "K". I was more shocked that record show someone else wanted to call their kid - Sex Fruit - although I suppose it's to the point. It's interesting that one mother wanted to call her kid O.crnia - using text language as this article says - I'll be interested to see if text spelling starts to become more common in names. K8Y?
Although Sex Fruit was not allowed, the New Zealand authorities did let other parents call their kids "Number 16 Bus Shelter" and "Violence". !!!
