Read this on another forum and, for some reason, it has my blood boiling. How incomprehensibly stupid do you need to be in order to think it's a good idea to name your child "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii", "Sex Fruit", "Fish And Chips" or "Number 16 Bus Shelter"?

MOSCOW, February 18 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow authorities have refused to issue a birth certificate to a six-year-old boy, whose parents named him BOCh RVF 26062002, a records chief told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.

Registration officials refused to register the boy's name, which translates into a Russian acronym for Biological Human Object of the Voronin-Frolov Genus (DoB) June 6, 2002, to "protect the boy's own interests." The parents have insisted on registering the name.

"This case has been reviewed by several judicial agencies; however, the parents have been denied the right to register the child with that name," Tatyana Ushakova said. "This was done to protect the interests of the boy. His parents need to think about the boy and how he can live with a name like that and not think about their own ambitions."

Ushakova said that there is no legislation in Russia against giving children odd names. She also said that the parents referred their case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg; however, the complaint was turned down.

In 2008, a number of other odd names were registered in Russia, including the English equivalent of North, Dolphin, Wind, and Moon. However, in 2005 the names Leaf Salad, Aviation Dispatcher, Russia, Privatization, Cool, Viagra and Simply A Hero were registered.

However, the Russian names are somewhat tame compared to New Zealand, where last year a family court judge made a nine-year-old girl a ward of the court in order to change her name from Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

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

Murfitt gave a list of names that registrars had refused to register, including Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Fish And Chips. However the names Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence somehow got through.

Oh God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son"
Abe says, "Man, you must be puttin' me on"
God say, "No." Abe say, "What?"
God say, "You can do what you want Abe, but
The next time you see me comin' you better run"
Well Abe says, "Where do you want this killin' done?"
God says, "Out on Highway 61."

Above don’t have any strict relation to the subject matter, except to serve as an eye opener. I always thought the whole idea of having kids is to do 10 times worse than your parents did, and when it comes down to names…

It breaks down, basically, as follows:

Want the kid to be something special parent could never be, but seen on TV (48%): Kid ends up with some foreign names you can’t even pronounce (and much less spell), and at least 3 names is mandatory.

Don’t really care that much, so kid gets named after some close relative (40%).

Been really drunk and stoned on weed and acid for the last 14 years (4%). Total disaster and kid gets named “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii", "Sex Fruit", "Fish And Chips" or "Number 16 Bus Shelter", not to forget moonbeam, sunshine and other atmospheric phenomenon.

Miscellaneous (8%). Be prepared, anything can happen here.
