“Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii” Deemed Inappropriate Name For Child
Posted on July 24, 2008 - Filed Under News Item | 1 Comment
A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated – Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.
Judge Rob Murfitt said that the name embarrassed the nine-year-old and could expose her to teasing.
He attacked a trend of giving children bizarre names, citing several examples.
Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed.
Makes “Athens Trent Boland” sound eminently reasonable…
