NEW ZEALAND SAYS NO TO BAD NAMES

Choosing a name for your baby is one of the important things in the planning process. It is something that needs to be thought through months in advance. I understand if you are going to name your baby some weird name if you had no idea you were pregnant. Bear in mind that this will be a name that the child will carry through out the rest of his/her life. Unless you had no choice but to give your child a certain name e.g for culture reasons, it is certainly unacceptable to burden your child like that since people in this world can be so cruel.

The laws in some countries have seen it as a serious offense that they have decided to not allow certain names after birth. I guess they do not want weird names in birth certificates of their citizens.  Names which have to do with the dark side are a definite no-no. Calling a child Lucifer, Vandal, Rebel or Mafia No Fear is just pushing it or worst asking for a good tongue lashing. Unless you only wish the worst for your child bad omen names should be avoided at all costs.

New Zealand constantly updates their system with names that have not been approved. They recently rejected at least 77 names. I wonder who decides what is acceptable, although some of the names are obviously ridiculous e.g full stop, inverted comas and 3^rd, 4^th or 5^th. No efforts made there, maybe the parents were high on something?

Unfortunately for some, acceptable names such as Justice and Duke were also rejected.  Calling your child King, Prince and Princess were also rejected. New Zealand prohibits parents from giving their children rank names, so unless you are royalty stay away from those names. In 2008, a court ordered that the name of a girl called 'Talula does the Hula from Hawaii' be changed lol. I’m sure most celebrities are glad they do not live in New Zealand.
