New Zealand bans baby names

There aren't any babies IN wombs.

They become "babies" when they are able to check out.

BTW, that is also when they can become legally named.

 

Just one more sign of the erosion of good sense and morals in the 21st Century when the gov't has to make laws preventing this kind of lunacy.

This makes me wonder if the Islamic campaign for global conquest has anything to worry about.

Why?

If this insanity continues I can easily imagine the day when even I might welcome a dictatorial force to put a stop to these actions of stupid, childish, Godless heathens who would think to burden their children with such harmful appellations.

Global Islam might one day be seen as a GOOD thing. Like a bad tasting medicine or a painful innoculation that saves the patient's life.

 

Say Mike Hunt quickly.....

Haven't you heard the jioke about having the hotel page Mike Hunt?

 

There are a lot of names that can be corrupted to mean something else.
When I was 7 years old there was a kid on the same street named Billy Button, and you know what the other kids did with that one.

And how about this rather well known guy Peter Beter? He took a lot of flak for his name. He could have just used David for a first name, but didn't. I guess its that "stuck" syndrome.

I knew a guy named Richard Head. It was a most unfortunate name. Sometimes the parents fail to think of the shortened version of the first name and how it plays off the last.

This guy suffered like nobody else I knew.

 

Leave out the sheep and you are actually talking about Australia

I reserve the right of my fellow countrymen to outdrink anyone on the planet!!



Now compare that to the typical New Zealand male



And you have to agree which one is the real booze artists

 

Exactly!! It is not like they are stopping people making up names "Maylene" "Tahlooola" or "Tibetia" (my cat - himalayan) They are merely stopping some of the more outrageous names being given to a child

 

A man should be able to name his spawn as he sees fit.

I do like the way the Kiwis roll though...

 

I knew a Richard Head. Watch the jokes...he was Captain Head, US Army Airborne! I also knew a William Laydee. I worked with Elvis Aron Pettibone and Rufus Gabriel Loonfeather.

 

Why not just go by your middle name? It's common enough...my mother does it, so did her father.

 

Dick Trickle raced in NASCAR. Bobby Thigpen pitched in MLB. I knew a Roger Bellavance. (He legally changed it to, IIRC, Bell, as soon as he could.) There are PLENTY of odd names. My sister went to college with a guy named Merlin. She had a professor names Carl Bogus. There's a politician from (I think) Illinois named Craig Boozeman.

 

Yeah! We Aussies give the Kiwis a hard hard time of it but they respond in kind and it is a LOT of fun!!

 

Off-topic reference to your sig:

When I lived in SF I sometimes bought aromatic body oils from a shop that was formerly Milk's old photo store on Castro street.

FWIW

 

Let's see, while in the Army, I met:

CSM Harold Ignatius Ball
Michael Ball, who named his daughter Crystal.
Polly Gethard

Years later as a civilian, I met La-A. That's La-Dash-A for all you ignant peeples.

 

Having a slow day or you just don't get it..

 

Richard Head used to be an Australian politician, Minister for Sport and Gaming if I remember rightly.

I'd suggest Michael Hunt would be OK.

 

There's a dental surgeon in my town called Dr Mola.

 

4Real rang a bell, he made the BBC news five years ago! Lucifer means "lightbringer", what's wrong with that?

" ...The UK's rules on baby names are among the most liberal in the world. A spokesman for the General Register Office says there are no restrictions on parents - except for exceptional cases, such as a name which could be deemed offensive, when an official could refuse to register it. He refused to divulge if there had been any such cases'

But here have been two children named Superman in the UK since 1984, along with six boys named Gandalf and 29 Gazzas, according to figures released last year by the genealogy website findmypast.com. There are even 36 Arsenals of both sexes.... "

Some countries have an approved list from which names are chosen!

 

Wish we could ban Tamiqua, Shamiqua, D'aquan, Jamal, and a host of other made up names. They all grow up to be ho-bags and felons.

 

I think it is so sad where we have come to a place in our...depravity....where this is a problem.

 

Just like Earl, Jeb etc grow up to become Hillbillies and Rednecks

 

Hillbillies and rednecks are not predisposed to be on food stamps or in jail.

Bill Clinton's nickname was "Bubba", and a "Bubba" won the Masters last year.

"Jeb" Bush was the first 2-term GOP Governor of my state since Reconstruction. Earl Warren was a highly respected Chief Justice of the SCOTUS, and ex-Governor of CA, I believe.

Can you show similar for Tamiqua, Shamiqua, D'aquan, Jamal ?

The answer is not only "NO", but "HELL NO".

pwned.

 

Better than the surgeon called Dr De'ath

No embarrassment not to be shown as racist

 

LOL!!!! I almost spit my drink all over my keyboard. Man how I would HATE to have that name. Dick Head lol.

 

I think it was in New Zealand where several yrs ago the court changed the name of a young girl, around 8-10 yrs old, who was named "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii"...

I won't say what I think of parents who does stupid, brain-dead crap like that to their kids.... but what the hell is WRONG w/these MORONS? Nothing dawns on them about what they're doing to their child when they slap a hideous, embarrassing name on that baby who will grow up being bullied and ridiculed, not wanting to be around people.... it just blows my mind.

When the child is born and the hospital needs the name for the birth certificate, if the parents pop up w/a stupid, embarrassing name for their child, I really think it should be mandated that a counselor step in and really talk to the parents about how that name is going to effect their child's life...

Something needs to be done about what these insensitive idiots are doing to their kids.....
