These people shouldn't have the right to name their children if they give them such ridiculous names. It's just cruel.
Car names - fine. No probs there. They ARE names of something in the first place. But 4 Real? Honestly, these people need to be hit over the head because clearly they're not thinking straight. What horrible people! Isn't it every parents job to stop their children from being teased/harrassed etc?

i think spelling it forreal would be ok - weird but ok! and real estate agent or not they def sound trailer trash to me....you can take them out of the trailer but...
I went to school with heaps of "girlie" and "boy" - can anyone say south auckland in the 70s? Now that way of naming should be outlawed too!!!
I still think a name can stop someone getting a job etc later on in life....people should think more carefully....

I heard the being interviewed on The Edge the other morning, I think he seriously had some screw loose but thats just my opinion. I am all for parental rights but that was just taking it a bit far, the poor child, just imagine how much that kid will get teased. Glad BDM stepped in and wouldnt allow it.

I totally agree! Whether people like to think it or not, their children will one day be adults and may possibly want to be respected. How are you respected when your parents have called you '4 real' or '4 sure'?!

there was a little girl whose parents were in the ww a yearago or so, and she had died. she was named V8. seriously.
In japan there are rather strict rules with the kanji (characters) that can be used as names.

As far as I am aware, France has a list of "approved" names that prospective parents choose from. I know they did, I'm fairly sure they still do (too lazy to check)
And celebs with weird names for children? Rob Morrow (Don Epps on Numb3rs) and his wife Debon Ayre (sp?) wanted their daughter to have a fun name like her mum so they named her Tu. Yes, Tu Morrow. They call her Tui like the bird as a nickame.

WTF? Hey, V8's mum is in the NZWW this week. Here's a question? How come she could do v8, but 4real got vetoed? Both stupid names in my opinion, anyhow..

Fattartsrock - the reason is that you can have a number in the name, but it cannot start with a number. Probbably because of the difficulties numbers at the start would give to alphabetising and stuff liket hat, more than it simply being a stupid name.
Yeah, i can see me goingto a lawyer/doctor etc called 4real. :tui:

I heard on National Radio (yes I am sad, old and boring) that the parents have come to a compromise with BDM. Dont know what it is, but suspect they have to spell it out in letters rather than use the number.
I personally think this is so stupid, and the poor child is going to be effected for life. I think that everyone is shaped by their name, whether consciously or not. You very rarely come across a female judge, doctor or lawyer with a name like Bluebell or Pixie do you? (For the record - both of these names were on my girls name list...!! )
