Baby Names Banned By New Zealand: Lucifer, Mafia No Fear, V8 And So On. by Nobody: 1:02pm On May 01, 2013
WELLINGTON - New Zealand
officials on Wednesday released a
list of baby names put forward by
parents that were rejected because
they were too bizarre or offensive,
including “Lucifer” and “Mafia No
Fear”.
The list of 77 names reveals one
child was set to be called “Anal”
before the Department of Internal
Affairs vetoed the proposal, while
another narrowly avoided being
dubbed “.” or full stop.
Other names on the list included
“4Real”, “V8″, and “Queen Victoria”.
In some cases, parents appeared to
have lost any inspiration for coming
up with a moniker for their
offspring, wanting to call the latest
addition to the family simply “2nd”,
“3rd” or “5th”.
The department’s rules forbid any
name that might imply a child holds
an official title or rank, so “King”,
“Duke” and “Princess” were among
those that had been turned down
most since 2001.
“Justice” was the most popular,
having been rejected 62 times,
although “Justus” and “Juztice” also
failed to gain official approval.
In 2008, New Zealand’s family court
ordered that a nine-year-old girl
whose parents had called her “Talula
Does The Hula From Hawaii” should
have her name changed because it
was embarrassing and “makes a fool
of the child”.
At the time, judge Rob Murfitt
criticised parents who gave their
children bizarre names, citing
examples such as “Number 16 Bus
Shelter”, “Midnight Chardonnay” and
twins called “Benson” and “Hedges”.
