Stuff reports:

Most-denied names (July 1, 2001, to June 30, 2011)

Justice – 49

Princess – 24

King – 21

Prince – 20

Royal – 12

Duke – 7

Bishop – 7

Major – 6

J – 6

Lucifer – 6

I think any parent who tries to name their new born Lucifer, should be automatically referred to CYFS.

Poor kids

The Taranaki Daily News has a story on some of the more unusual names in NZ:

  • Fish and Chips (twins)
  • Masport and Mower (twins)
  • Yeah Detroit
  • Spiral Cicada
  • Kaos
  • Stallion
  • Hitler
  • Cinderella Beauty Blossom
  • Twisty Poi
  • Keenan Got Lucky
  • Sex Fruit

Generally parents should be left to run their famileis as they see fit. But this is not an absolute right. Children are not just property, and there is sometimes a necessary role to protect children. I do think that most of the names above verge on the cruel.

Could you imagine 13 years of going through school with you and your brother called Fish and Chips. Every day would be hell probably.

Chewbacca and Sunday

Stuff reports:

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin supports Nicole Kidman’s choice to call her daughter Sunday and believes “Chewbacca” would be an OK name too.

Sunday is an okay name, but if your parents named you Chewbacca I would say that no jury in the land would convict you of murder if you killed them in their sleep one night.
