New Zealand Couple Loses Custody of Child Because of Her Name

Strange names are common when it somes to celebrities in Hollywood, but it doesn't go over as well in New Zealand.

It seems bizarre, but a Kiwi couple named their daughter, “Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii.”

The parents were charged with child abuse and have lost custody of precious little "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii" because of the emotional harm the name could cause their daughter.  That and the fact that the poor girl realized she didn't have enough little circles to darken when filling out her name on a school standardized test.

 These particular parents weren't the only ones to have a name rejected and cause problems.  Some other rejected names are, “1069”, “Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116,” and “They.”
