Name Change for Talula Does The Hula from Hawaii

WELLINGTON (AFP) - A New Zealand judge has ordered a name change for an embarrassed nine-year-old girl called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, a local newspaper reported Thursday.
The girl was so embarrassed that she had not revealed the name given by her parents to friends, who simply knew her as K, the Taranaki Daily News said.
Family court judge Rob Murfitt said in a judgement made in February -- but not released until Thursday -- that oddball monikers created social hurdles as children grew up.
"She fears being mocked and teased and in that she has a greater level of insight than either of her parents," he said of the girl.
The judge discovered New Zealand parents had given their children some other unusual names including Number 16 Bus Shelter and Midnight Chardonnay, both of which may relate to the conception of the child.
One child was named Violence and two pairs of twins were called Benson and Hedges and Fish and Chips. The children from one family were all named after six-cylinder Ford cars.
Hahaha, what an odd world
What exactly were the parents thinking? Don't they feel any responsibility to their child?
I couldn't fathom the reason why they should play around with their children's names. It's like a label they would have to endure all their life.
Even if they couldn't be good fathers and mothers, the least they could do is give them a good name.
Odd names from Hollywood:
Pilot Inspektor: Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf (My Name is Pilot Inspektor..muaHAHAHA)
Audio Science: Shannyn Sossamon (Is that a name or a made up major?)
Moon Unit: Frank Zappa (Don’t forget the other children: Dweezil and Diva Muffin)
Ireland: Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger
David Bowie – Zowie
But the disease of odd child names is not only for those in Hollywood, we also have it here. Some *interesting* examples include:
ZAMI ISMAIL - MOHD HITLER (maybe dah tukar nama kot *geleng kepala*)
Melly Goeslow - Anakku Lelaki
Anak Melly yg lain namanya - Pria Bernama Hoed
Gadjah Soepardi (ayahnya Lembu Wiworojati)
p/s: one thing I would love to say to the parents is, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?!
