This makes me lose faith in humanity for two reasons. 1, a government should not be able to tell you what to name your kid under any circumstances. No matter how stupid or offensive the name is. You should be able to name your child Jesus Fuckface Jones if you so choose. But 2, you should not want to name your child things that will retard their progress through life. Regardless of your feelings about the white race, naming your child Hitler Jew-eater McMarris will likely result in him not getting alot of job interviews. Also all your parent teacher conferences would be very awkward.

So yes, this is an attack on two things I hold dear. Freedom and common sense.
And credit where credit is do, Chu pointed this out to me and then mysteriously didn't post about it.

Pair told not to name son '4real'

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and ... there's no direct link between the meaning and the name," Pat Wheaton told TV One on Wednesday. "With this name, everyone knows what it means."

But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.

The government office has opened negotiations with the parents about the name under a policy that says all unusual names must be given case-by-case consideration.

"The name has not at this stage been rejected," Registrar-General Brian Clarke said in a statement Thursday. "We are currently in discussions with the parents ... to clarify the situation."

Clarke said the rules are designed to prevent names that are "likely to cause offense to a reasonable person." Satan and Adolf Hitler were proposed names that have been declined, he said.

If no compromise has been reached by July 9, the baby will be registered as "real," officials say.

New Zealand law requires all children born in the South Pacific nation to be registered with the Births, Deaths and Marriages registry within two months of birth.
