Weird Pair told not to name son '4real'

[1JadedJen]

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and ... there's no direct link between the meaning and the name," Pat Wheaton told TV One on Wednesday. "With this name, everyone knows what it means."

But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.

I think parents should be allowed to name their kids anything they want. So long as the child has the authority to change his name at the therapist lol. Seriously though, at a clinic or what ever.

I think parents should be allowed to name their kids anything they want.

In that case, expect to see children names like:

QTboi

Personally, I think parents should not be allowed to name their children absurdly, for the child's own sake.
