What's Up With All The Weird Names For Children?

I was just getting on the internet today and on yahoo there is the headline "Enough with unusual names" so I clicked on the article to see what celebrity had their kid and what was the name. lol Lets face it Knox Leon and Sunday Rose are the two newest and I just hope when those kids are growing up, they are not teased by the other kids. We all know how cruel kids can be especially about names. Anyway, here's some of the article: A family court judge in New Zealand has had enough with parents giving their children bizarre names here, and did something about it. Just ask "Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii". He had her renamed. That is the childs name! OMG what the heck were those parents thinking? This name makes the celebrity's crazy names seem normal! lol The new name was not made public to protect the girl's privacy. "The court is profoundly concerned about the very poor judgment which this child's parents have shown in choosing this name," he wrote. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily." The girl had been so embarrassed at the name that she had never told her closest friends what it was. She told people to call her "K" instead, the girl's lawyer, Colleen MacLeod, told the court. The girl was involved in a custody battle. I only took excerpts from the article, but I have provided the link for those who would like to read the whole story. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080724/ap_on_re_au_an/new_zealand_bizarre_names Does anyone have an opinion on all the crazy names that are coming about now? Celebraties want to be different, and I totally understand that, but some of the names are OUTRAGOUS in my opinion. This one certainly is.

Oh I read about this one the othe rday too. It was quite funny. Yes they got some really weird name and I always wonder how and why the parents would choose those names. I am glad my name is normal

Oh I know!!! I do like Sunday Rose, though. I can't stand when parents name their kids after car names. This one I don't understand. There is a little girl in the school that I work at and her name is Lovely, and I always think of Lovey from Gilligan's Island. LOL

I don't see the problem with Knox Leon. It fits well with his brothers names, Maddox and Pax, and isn't all that non-traditional. I think Phineus is stranger than Knox. But the poor little Hula...that's beyond bizarre!

Her parents must of been stoned when she was born LOL jokes. Poor child, I don't blame her telling her friends to call her K. Her parents were in LALA land at the time.

the guy on the radio was just talking about this and callers were calling in with people that they knew...one guy knew someone named 'nimrod' (yes that was his real name!) and the guy on the radio says it should be constituted as child abuse to name kids with weird names!
