How about "Sex Fruit" for a baby name?

patgund. I meant to post this to babynames, but I fail big.

 

 

Link to an article on hideous baby names in NZ.

Text for the link-phobic:

Some parents have been branded abusers because of the bizarre names of their children.

 

Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt stated his concerns in a written decision after a custody hearing in New Plymouth revealed a couple had named their child Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

He was so disturbed at the effect on the nine-year-old that he ordered her temporarily placed under court guardianship so a suitable name could be chosen.

 "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap," he said.

The girl, who had not had her birth officially registered in NZ, had not revealed her name to her friends.

The judge was stopped talking yesterday by Principal Family Court Judge Peter Boshier. His office did provide some New Zealand-registered names the court knew of.

They included: Fish and Chips (twins), Masport and Mower (twins); boys Yeah Detroit, Spiral Cicada, Kaos, Stallion and Hitler; girls Cinderella Beauty Blossom and Twisty Poi; and sex unknown Keenan Got Lucky and Sex Fruit.

Somewhere out there (according to a former teacher friend of mine, who had her in class) there's a woman named Chlamydia.

I met an "Angina" last month. I really tried to pronounce it in a way that wasn't a heart condition, but she corrected me *fast*. I had to go into my office and laugh till I cried.

JUST the other night my friend and I were looking up weird baby names.

Have you been tossing around any baby names?

We're trying, but it's harder than I expected. Apparently, somewhere in the back of my mind I assumed I'd marry someone who was Ukranian like me, or at least some brand of Slavic. I like Ivan (Vanya), Istvan, and various versions of Nicholas for boys and Irina, Elena, Theodosia, and Sohpia for girls.

Problem is, I married Mr. WASP (well, WASC now, he covnerted to Catholicism). Seriously, the family tree his mother has constructed has over 21,000 people on it, goes back to before the Norman Conquest, and contains names like Holland, Howard, Kendall, deQuincy and Arden. My baby wil be the sixteenth-generation grandchild of St. Thomas More. While that kicks serious ass, Istvan does not go with our last name.

This is getting crazy long...stay tuned, I'll just do a new entry. I've been wanting to think out loud about this anyway.
