    Parents ordered to change girl’s Talula Does the Hula name
    By New Zealand correspondent Kerri Ritchie
    Posted 15 minutes ago
    A New Zealand judge has ordered that the parents of an eight-year-old girl change her name, saying it is highly embarrassing and makes the child a target for ridicule.
    The girl, who lives in New Plymouth on the west coast of the north island, is named “Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii”.
    The Family court was told that the child is so mortified she has not told any of her friends her real name.
    Judge Robert Murfitt ruled that the name was a social disability.
    The girl’s parents have separated and she has been placed under the court’s guardianship while a new name is selected.
    Judge Murfitt says he is appalled by the judgement of some parents.
    He says in New Zealand there are children called Midnight Chardonnay, Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence.

  13. jerseyfame August 14th, 2008 9:07 pm

    I find other countries very eclectic with thier general artwork. Like street signs and ad’s…they are all next level. we get a little generic here in the states form time to time.

    I try to go a little left…myself to avoid that crunch.

    I am F.A.M.E. and I make music.
