"In a rare move, a New Plymouth Judge has forced a nine-year-old's parents to change her name.

The lawyer for the girl, originally called Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, told the judge she was so embarrassed by her name she refused to reveal it to friends. Her lawyer said she feared being mocked and teased.

Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt temporarily placed the girl in the court's guardianship in February while a new name was picked. In his ruling, Judge Murfitt said the name made a fool of the girl, setting her up with an unnecessary social disability."

Right on! If parents want to give their children weird names and bizarre spellings they should take them on for themselves, by deed poll, and not inflicted it on the child. The Press has a list of similar crazy ones!

Deed poll. Go do it. Although it does make you sound like a cross between Jack Black and Kevin Costner's character Dances with Wolves ...
