WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it.

Just ask Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He had her renamed.

Judge Rob Murfitt made the 9-year-old girl a ward of the court so that her name could be changed, he said in a ruling made public Thursday. The girl was involved in a custody battle, he said.

The new name was not made public to protect the girl's privacy.

To quote the great Keanu Reeves from the movie Parenthood:

"you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming a**hole be a father."

There needs to be a judge in the US to overrule some of the stupid names that some celebrities give their kids, like Jason Lee's kid, Pilot Inspektor, and Apple Martin!!

I agree with you. I mean, if her name were just Talula, it's kind of cute, I think. It has kind of a Samoan or South Pacific flair to it. But all the other parts of the name added to it. I don't know why parents can't or refuse to see the impact on a kid, naming him or her in a certain way.

Brian Damage · 07-24-2008, 02:58 PM

Exactly, I think Jason Lee named his son, Pilot Inspektor. That is absolutely criminal.
