Nomenclature
Did your parents give you a long or silly name? No matter how bad it is, there's no way it can be as bad as this girl's, whose name was so terrible, a judge ordered her parents to change it.
The parents of a New Zealand girl named Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii have been ordered to change her name because it risks making her the target of abuse and ridicule.I would make a crack about a nine-year-old having her own lawyer, but this is one of the few instance I can think of where it's justified.
A lawyer acting for the girl claimed she was so embarrassed by her name that she had kept it from her friends, insisting she should be known as "K" instead. She also feared that if it became public she would be mocked and teased.
The lawyer claimed the girl fully understood the absurdity of her name, unlike her parents who had not considered the implications when they named her.
