Parents lose custody for calling daughter Talula Does The Hula

The judge was absolutely right. The parents cannot possibly be rational, intelligent human beings, nor can they be taking their job as parents seriously. They are clearly irresponsible, and thus have no right to raise a child.

There are certain social norms that must adhered to if we are going to run a co-operative, reciprocative society, and child naming is one of them. Absurd names should be illegal.

Hahaha, oh, the weird people of the world!

Seriously, I'd like to hear the story behind the wish to call a child "Sex Fruit". I can imagine it being some sort of weird way to be original and the name meaning something along the lines of the baby being the result (=fruit) of the act of sex or something!

When I read these things I always wish I could see the people (in this case the parents), just so I could see what people like that look like

There was a couple on Close Up and they wanted to name their children, 4ever, 4real and something else with a 4 in it. But the registry wouldn't let them because they're not allowed to have numbers in them. I'm glad to have a normal name

Remember J.T. Yorke on Degrassi TNG? His given names wer eventually revealed to be James Tiberius. Obviously his parents loved Star Trek. That's a pretty minor one though.

OK, I guess that sounded more than a little bit hypocritical, but I am not that kind of fan.
