Oh, you wacky Kiwis
Don’t you realize dumb baby names are only for the famous?
New Zealand children have been given names such as Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Benson and Hedges(twins).
But other names, including Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Stallion, Twisty Poi, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, have been blocked by registration officials.
The revelations came during written findings by Family Court Judge Murfitt, who ordered a girl be put in court guardianship so her name - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii - could be changed.
The girl’s lawyer told the judge she was so embarrassed by her name she refused to reveal it to friends.

I like that “Number 16 Bus Shelter” made it past the bureaucrats, but “Yeah, Detroit” is somehow considered unacceptable. Curious that there were no Chocolate E. Clares, though.
