Is this 4Real?

Why? WHY do this to your poor baby son? What did he ever do to you? You've pretty much decided that he's going to grow up to be a rapper. What if he wants to be an accountant? Poor darling baby.
I swear to you all, I have a cousin who's name is Anakin. Yes, like Skywalker/Darth Vader. No, I'm not lying or joking. That Poor Poor Baby Boy.

"You don't know my name, do you?"
"Yes, I do!"
"What is it?"
"...Mulva?"
"You don't know my name, do you?"
"Yes, I do!"
"What is it?"
"...Mulva?"
...Is that from Seinfeld?
I can see some of the more exotic names, but Superman!? I don't know it just doesn't work.
and how do you tell your kid named Superman that he can't go out until he cleans his room? It's like "i'm f***ing Superman!!!"
and one of the pictures said someone wanted to name their kid Metallica hahah
But I do think parents who give kids odd names are wankers. Everything from people who just give odd names like Apple and Kal-el, to people who use normal names and spell them stupid like Ambaaah (I shit you not, my mother taught a girl with that name).
When my baby sister was due in 2004 my Dad told me he and my step mother planned to give her a Khmer first name and an Anglo middle name (Khmer because she's half Cambodian), the options were Sophea (Pronounced Sop-ia not Sof-ia) and Recksmay. I forbade them from naming her Recksmay on the grounds that kids in Australia would bark at her in the playground. Needless to say her name is Sophea Christina Turner. According to that article, if it were up to the French that name wouldn't be allowed and that is uncool in my books.
hahahaha! That made me giggle.

I'm with you on all of that. The main point of this post was to just complain about the wankitude of the parents naming their poor, defenseless baby boy "4Real".
First of all, I want to comment on the genius of the word "wankitude" which I will now use incessantly
And I totally agree with God - I disagree with government involvement, but parents should think of the children, really.
Having said that, I got pissed off when my parents refused to name my sister Zallyandro. I thought it was a fantastic name.
It obviously got rejected by the registry but I think they took it to the court....what idiots.
But I have no idea what the outcome was....
Then again, they might have worshiped the devil. Hmm.
Anyways, I like funny names sometimes... though I do feel bad for the person that is the owner of that name... there's a real estate person (err, it's 5am and the title has escaped me) in my city named "George Georgopoulos"
