@jegga Can't see how Sir Bob would have the balls to criticise ANYONE on kid names after what he inflicted on his own daughters.
You have difficulty believing he'd have that arrogant hypocrisy..?
Or,possibly, has realised the error of his ways...
Jesus is the ticket, IMO - seems to be all the rage in Spanish-speaking countries.

I can't remember if I've posted this in the past but a few years back there was a guy who was quite high up in the mongrel mob called James MMM Ford. He'd changed his name by deed poll to make his last name ford and his middle name MMM to stand for "Mighty Mongrel Mob".
He also named all his kids after typed of Ford cars, so he had a daughter called Cortina, a few other stupid but I guess passable names for kids who have gang member parents, and then his last kid was called, wait for it...
[Police are trying to find a 21-year-old man with gang connections who may be in Wellington.
Customline Ford has a warrant for his arrest for breaching court-imposed bail conditions.
Detective Tracey Calder, of Wairarapa, said Ford faced several charges including burglary, theft from a motor vehicle and receiving.
"We believe Ford is in the Wairarapa or Wellington areas and would like to speak to anyone who may know his whereabouts."](http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/4401941/Police-seek-man-named-Customline-Ford)
The kid had a gang patch by the time he was about 15. Unsurprisingly, he never went on to become a doctor

This was probably the favourite one I came across in my time in the job though...

"His lawyer, Val Nisbet, said that, in 2001, his client – then called Nicholas – had been a normal university student in Auckland when he had an accident and suffered a serious head injury. After that he changed, began using drugs and later changed his name by deed poll to Megatron."
Mrs AWL wouldn't even let me name our cat Megatron, let alone let me change my name to it...

Apparently she's pretty normal, and ironically enough likes to singe Justin Bieber songs.. go figure
Surely her parents have disowned her, or is she a closet Beiber fan?

She's probably too scared to tell them

@Virgil Surely Torana Holden's mum's name can only be one of a few things.
Gemini Holden, Calais Holden, Caprice Holden. Sunbird maybe?I reckon One tonner would be good, depending on her build. Statesman, commodore, crewman and Jackaroo seem more like blokes names and they never made a Jillaroo which is quite sexist in these gender sensitive times.
I also like the idea of a Drover Holden...

Hope that helps find young Torana's mum. A read through the Parakai phone book must be hilarious. I trust that Metallica is doing O.K?

Seems to be a growing number of bogan names appearing in our community these days. The mrs mentioned there's a kid in our girls ballet class called Rainbow.
As far as I know Metallica is doing ok, my oldest plays with her at school ( how many get to say their kid hangs out with Metallica..) -

There is also the Australian option of 'Brockies Holden' and Monaro.
Don't forget you drive your Mon-ah-row on the Mon-air-row highway and never confuse the two.

There was that story on the news a while back, a young teen might have been killed in a car crash, in trouble with the law??? Can't recall but what came to light was he had about 4 or 5 siblings, all had car names.
Pretty sure it was in the Waikato somewhere -

@booboo why the hell do parents try and be creative with names? For fuck sakes, the only time a name has any importance is when it's a fucking stupid name and then it hurts the kid. You can't give a name that will give your child an edge, so just stick to something sensible and give them a chance.
-
Because some parents are simply fuckwits
They thing because their favourite celeb can name their kids looney names they can do the same.
They forget all those celebs and their kids live in a bubble shared with other stupidly named kids. For them if your kid has a normal name you can't be famous enough. -
I am surprised the names Kardashian, Brangelina or Taytay havent shown up yet...or maybe it has and is so popular it isn't unusual...

D'oh

The preview says the poor we mite's name is Souljah ... it is and it isn't... read the article to get the full effect of his hyphenated first name.
He's obviously intended to become a reggae musician ...
D'oh and double d'oh

@Virgil how is Metallica?

Top bogan baby names of 2017: A list of names you shouldn't call your new-born
31 Aug, 2017 8:28am
Don't do it to me, mum. PhotoNZ Herald
It's a tough gig for parents to come up with unique baby names.
For many mothers and fathers, they want a name that encapsulates the spirit and energy of their new-born baby.
Unfortunately for some children, they've ended up with questionable names in their parents' quest to be different.
Writing for Kidspot, Sabrina Rogers-Anderson revealed some of the more 'creative', cringe-worthy and humorous Bogan names from 2017.
And no, the names "Denim" or "Smirnoff" don't feature!
There are so many bogan names out in the world that Rogers-Anderson has now published a book.
Here's the list of the best, or worst, bogan baby names for 2017.
BOYS:
BACARDI - You can't have a list of top bogan names and not include an alcoholic beverage. However, your favourite spirit should never be considered as a name for your new-born. Think of the poor twins who could be named Rum and Coke...
GAIGE - What are you trying to achieve with a name like this? "Gauge" means to estimate and a "gage" is a challenge. But Gaige? No thanks.
HARISYN - The poor boy will certainly grow up having his name misspelled and mispronounced.
JAKXSEN - When you can't pronounce the "cks" in Jackson, why not just throw in an X and a stray "e" instead of an "o"?
JARREN - Jarrod and Darren walk into a bar. After a few beers, they can't even pronounce their own names anymore, so they collectively refer to themselves as "Jarren" through intoxicated hiccups. It's all fun and games until someone names an actual human Jarren.
KENDREW - It feels like it could be an NBA player's name - but unfortunately they never get any game time. Don't subject your child to a life sentence of abuse.
LAKEN - A last name? Yes. A first name? Nah.
ZYLER - Zack or Tyler? Zack. Or. Tyler? It's like the parents couldn't decide on a name so blended the two together. Poor Zyler.
GIRLS:
ALIZE - Pronounced "Ah-lee-zay", it could be mistaken for fruity alcoholic drinks. This certainly fits the bogan criteria.
DIJON - Why would you name your daughter after a mustard?
ENIVID - It's Divine backwards, But the name Enivid is anything but divine. It also made the bogan baby list for 2016.
HARLEEN - Since when did we take baby name advice from parents from the south of the US? We may have bogans or westies but we certainly have no rednecks in New Zealand.
KIRANDA - It's like the Kardashian family had another daughter and ran out of K names to use. Khloe, Kim, Kourtney wouldn't be impressed.
VEJONICA - According to Rogers-Anderson, In 2015, Reddit users submitted the worst baby names they'd ever heard and Vejonica made the cut. Apparently, it's a mash-up of the baby's grandparents' names: Veronica and John.
JAZLYN - Just no.
FEEBI - If there is a winner butchering the spelling of your child's name, this is it.
