i don't fully agree with eugenics but these parents are making a case...

Favourite Names:

-SARS Bin Laden
-Kal-El
-Orange-jello and Lemon-jello pronounced Or-AHN-gello and Lem-AHN-gello (twins, naturally!)
-Ivan Ho
-Warwock

Allowed/Disallowed names in New Zealand (and here I thought they were progressive...)

*Allowed: Violence; Number 16 Bus Shelter; Midnight Chardonnay; Benson and Hedges (twins)
*Blocked: Yeah Detroit; Stallion; Twisty Poi; Keenan Got Lucy; SexFruit; Fat Boy;
Cinderella Beauty Blossom; Fish and Chips (twins), Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii

I suppose some will make the case that it is just a name and that all differences should be appreciated and uniqueness allowed. But if my name was a FULL SENTENCE, that would just get confusing for  school teachers:

"Now is it First Name: Talula-Does-The, Middle Name: Hula, Family Name: From-Hawaii? Shall we just acronym-you, TDTHFH?"
