WELLINGTON (New Zealand) — Some Taranaki parents have been branded child abusers because of the bizarre names they are giving their children. Taranaki is a region in the west of New Zealand’s North Island.
Family court judge Rob Murfitt expressed dismay about a trend of giving children bizarre names, as he made a nine-year-old girl a ward of the court so her name could be changed from Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. The girl was so embarrassed that she had not revealed the name given by her parents to friends, who simply knew her as K.

Other unusual names include Violence, Stallion, Cinderella Beauty Blossom, Number 16 Bus Shelter, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucky and Midnight Chardonnay. A pair of twins was called Benson and Hedges and another, Fish and Chips.
>> Damn creative, I must say. But imagine this: "Fish and Chips, finish your fish and chips now!" Or Ben and Jerry? keke. Personally, I like Chardonnay. But Midnight Chardonnay is a bit too much. I think I might just name my kid Saintnity in future. That's not too bad, right? Or how about Nice (as in nee-s)? Or Amazing Grace? If it's a son, how about... Bravo? Hey, I do know of someone called Bravo! Damn, Bravo!
