- Eavesdropping, on 07/24/2008, -5/+136WTF parents? The judge should also impose a ruling allowing these children to rename their wingnut parents. Something like, "Insane Ball Bag" or "Velveeta Crackers". Stupid clown parents had to have been stoned in the delivery room. Seriously, "Sex Fruit"? Mankind is imploding.
- ironeus, on 08/01/2008, -4/+131It's terrible the girl was too embarrassed to say her name in front of her own friends at the age of 9. I don't know where some of these parents have the nerve; the child's name is not for their own entertainment. "Number 16 Bus Shelter" c'mon!? Can that child even take the SAT later in life? I doubt it since there is no room for numerics in the 'first name' field.
- omgwtflawl, on 07/24/2008, -6/+107Thats not so bad, I named my son Robert');DROP TABLE Students;--
- sandersdamnit, on 07/24/2008, -1/+84danger is an acceptable middle name
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -2/+81I'm gonna name my kid Hu. So people will be like, who's Hu? and i'll be like, That's Hu, whos Hu? He's Hu, my son is Hu.
....Or maybe I'll just stick to Kai.
Here's a fun fact: My mom wanted to name me E.T. Luckily my dad thought "Holy *****, my son will get the crap kicked out of him" so they changed my name to Elliott. .......***** pricks. - fluidfoundation, on 07/24/2008, -8/+85She changed it to Tub Girl.
- daimposter, on 07/24/2008, -1/+70These people are stupid! Naming their kids Talua Does the Hula or Sexy Fruit.
Stick to normal names like Apple, Moon Unit, and Inspector Pilot. - AmyVernon, on 07/24/2008, -6/+70wtf? someone in New Zealand wanted to name their child "Yeah Detroit"?? these people are insane and should have their ability to reproduce taken away. what on earth is _wrong_ with people????
- JerichoSam, on 07/24/2008, -13/+77I'm all in favor of parents' rights and hate to see the government get involved in something as basic as a child's name. I do think parents should be responsible in making these choices, though.
- Mithivh, on 07/24/2008, -4/+60Until I read this article, I would NEVER have supported the government taking away this right...
But it's cruel to put someone through that. - ZeNiTH456, on 07/24/2008, -0/+56What kinda twisted parents would do something like this to their kid?
-Gaylord Focker - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -4/+56I agree the parents need to be renamed.
Maybe one called stupid is and the other called stupid does? - Wargalas, on 07/24/2008, -1/+52Oh yeah, little bobbie tables we call him!
- Jauladeoro, on 08/27/2008, -0/+42Be thankful your mother loved the movie E.T. --- According to imbd.com, other popular movies of 1982 that you could have been named after:
Conan the Barbarian
Rocky III
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan
Tootsie - new2u, on 07/24/2008, -2/+44I agree that it is starting to blur the line between parental rights and government rulings. The government is to involved in our lives as it is. But it is stupid people like these who make it easier and easier for the Government to start sticking their nose in our business.
- SkippyDoorknob, on 07/24/2008, -4/+45ZAT's then
- rentmitchum, on 07/25/2008, -1/+41***** you, I'm still naming my kid Batman.
- anagoge, on 07/24/2008, -0/+38And yet strangely, not an Onion article.
- rebotfc, on 07/24/2008, -0/+36"Registration officials blocked some names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter "and tragically, Violence," he said."
Number 16 Bus Shelter?? i'm gobsmacked. - m0zzie, on 07/25/2008, -1/+35I've always wanted to name my kid Highlander.. although I'm a little worried if someone beats me to it.
There can be only one. - rz8472, on 07/24/2008, -2/+36I'm going to name my son Devastator McJones.
- alexforcefive, on 07/25/2008, -2/+34Governments (or social work depts.) already have the right to intervene in cases of child abuse/neglect or other criminally poor parenting. The poor girl was obviously suffering mentally from this, so I don't see it as a violation of parents' rights. I'd argue that it's more like protection of a child's welfare.
I understand that it could set a dangerous precedent, but I think you should just accept that this is an extreme, unique case, and leave it at that. - psevium, on 07/25/2008, -0/+31Teacher: Jimmy?
Jimmy: Here
Teacher: Julie?
Julie: Here
Teacher: KHANNNNNNNNNN?
KHANNNNNNNNNN: *sigh* here - MacEnvy, on 07/24/2008, -0/+30I wish people called me Big Dong.
:( - Jaryd2006, on 07/24/2008, -0/+30Eeee leee otttt.....
- synchestric, on 07/24/2008, -3/+30http://xkcd.com/327/
- foldor, on 07/24/2008, -2/+29This is in New Zealand. There are no SAT's.
- DaHuuuuuudge, on 07/24/2008, -0/+27My hamster, Sex Fruit, agrees.
- jcorn1, on 07/24/2008, -1/+28If people just went to school and sat in the back of a classroom for a day or watched kids at recess, they'd understand that kids pick on each other and one thing they do is taunt people with different names. These parents are making it easier. A unique name or family name seems fine to me but to pick something so clearly bizarre is just inviting trouble for kids. Really. A little common sense would go a long way. Thanks for sharing this one!
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -3/+29These are names you use for pets!
- maldovix, on 07/25/2008, -0/+25dugg for the effort
- SkippyDoorknob, on 07/24/2008, -0/+23and Moxie Crimefighter
- SkippyDoorknob, on 07/24/2008, -0/+23I hope no one is named Jar-Jar
- SpaceDreamer, on 07/24/2008, -3/+24more than 50 kids have been named "Anakin" in France since 2000.
Breaking news: people are dumb. - leetdood, on 07/24/2008, -1/+22What about naming your kid Darth Vader? Or making his middle name Awesome? Is that cool with this judge?
- Jauladeoro, on 08/27/2008, -0/+19I wouldn't even name my pet "Talula does the Hula in Hawaii" --- That sounds like one of those stuck up Pedigree names you hear at dog shows.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+19Sex_Fruit would be a stupid name to give your MMO character, never mind a real girl.
- ProfessorFoo, on 07/24/2008, -0/+18If they try to feed them razor blades and crack rocks, then yes.
- ap44, on 07/24/2008, -2/+20I like the name Violence...could be called Vio (ve-oh) for short. Would be pretty cool. Plus anyone with the name Violence has to be bad ass.
- JavertHolmes, on 07/24/2008, -0/+18The government needs to stop interfering with how parents raise their kids damn it! This nanny state ***** has to go. I'm so frigging tired of it!
Sincerely,
Apple Bottom Jizzeater II. - inactive, on 07/24/2008, -0/+18Actually, I thought Apple wasn't really a bad name. It's unusual, but it's actually sorta cute.
Inspector Pilot, on the other hand... - poontangpirate, on 07/24/2008, -1/+19My son's name will be Mister Anderson.
- Justice101, on 07/24/2008, -1/+18Damn you Randall Munroe! :-)
- WhoDoneIt, on 07/24/2008, -2/+19Whatever. Try making some sense.
What would you expect people to say/think if your name was "Talula does the Hula".
The problem is the child doesn't have a choice in these cases. It would be no different that you coming out of your mothers loins and they immediately tattoo "I like *****" on your forehead. - Eyesaw, on 07/24/2008, -2/+19thats so cruel. poor girl
- AntBing, on 07/24/2008, -0/+16I bet the kid was named for where the parents conceived her.
- WhoDoneIt, on 07/24/2008, -0/+16I had a high school English teacher whos name was Dick Facer. I'm not sure why he didn't go by his birth name Richard. I mean he played the role well, but *****, this is high school.
- inactive, on 07/24/2008, -1/+17Loss of reproductive ability should not bother them, they've alreadly lost their ability to think rationally.
- grizzlybrice, on 07/24/2008, -0/+15Orange Soda
- Chebsi, on 07/24/2008, -1/+16What's wrong with that name?
