Here in the States we can name our kids "Moon Unit" if we want.

Nothing wrong in that, my parents actually wanted a daughter and was going to name her '2sweet' but I came along first and they called me '2bad'

It just proves to me that some people should not be allowed to have pets let alone have kids. :

Yeah, but it could have been worse - they might have called the kid Bro. Last time I was in NZ seemed like every second person was called that............

Agreed Bob. It's one thing for an adult to change their own name to any ridiculous thing, but quite another for adults to saddle a baby with a silly name.

That poor kid is going to have a major problem al the way through school. I can just imagine the first day of school every year.

Roll Call

Teacher: Superman Johnson

Roar of laughter

Superman: Call me 4real

Roar of laughter

T: What

S: Call me 4real

T: I did

Classic who's on first comedy every year.

May as well just go by Third Base.

Poor kid. The parents need to be beat.

Who's on first...



Idiot parental units.

Sad, pathetic, and further incidental evidence of a banal, dangerous societal plunge.

Well he had to be Mangles but this kid called Superman is going to have every kid try his luck.

Daddy, "What did you do at school today mister ?"

Kid, "I beat up Superman !"

Daddy, "that's my boy !"

My mother-in-law worked with a woman who named her daughter "Crystal Chandelier." I kid you not. When she asked her how she came up with the name, she was told "it was the first thing I saw after she was born." My mother-in-law reports that she successfully resisted the temptation to ask if the kid was born in a hotel lobby.

Didn't Frank Zappa name his son Dweezle, after the first initials of all the guys in his band?

The funniest thing about the whole story is the fact that the French have to get the government involved to prevent teasing. Wow.
