"The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," [Judge Rob Murfitt] wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily."

Right on, judge! Seriously, would give their kid a horrible name like "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii"?! That's just asking for a lifetime of therapy!

To the judge:
To the parents who gave their kid a stupid name:

I can't help but wonder, do these people actually want their kids? Honestly, that's a name you would give a classy purebred conformation champion dog. And even then, you don't refer to it by its full name.

That poor kid is gonna have some serious issues for life and I really pity her and the other kids like her with the crazy ass names. *tsk tsk*

I just wonder what the hell gave the parents the idea to give their kids names like 4 Real, Superman and her name?!!!

There's also the Swedish couple who wanted to name their daughter Metallica. Their claim was that she had a really independent spirit, and that the name suited her.

She was two weeks old when this claim was made. Come on, folks, if you want to stick a stupid name on someone, do it to yourself. Don't give your kid a name like Heavenly Haarani Tiger Lily.

Read the article before you judge. What kind of sadist names their child "Talula Does The Hula" anyway?!

The little chilipepper's full name, as I heard it on Fox News last night, is "Talula Who Does The Hula From Hawaii". However, friends of the little girl call her "K".

It could be worse. There's a kid in my grandmother's kindergarten class with the last name Doodah. His first name? Zippity. Zippity Doodah. Poor child.

Both kids are going to need some MASSIVE therapy when they grow up, all thanks to their parent's stupidity. *Sigh*

Heh. I have an unusual name. Driver.

Sounds like a character from a Diskworld book

[Lace Neil Singer]

At least it's not "Sex Fruit." WTF?

Just curious, but in your family tree, around WW1, was there a negro with the name "Cincinatus"? Not Discworld, but in Harry Turtledove's series "Great War" (3 books), "American Empire" (3 books), and "Return Engagement" (at least 2 books, haven't read this series yet), there's a character named Cincinatus Driver (starts out just as Cincinatus, acquires his last name in the AE series).
