Seem fine to me ....


A judge in New Zealand made a young girl a ward of court so that she could change the name she hated - Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.

Officials had blocked Sex Fruit, Keenan Got Lucy and Yeah Detroit, he said, but Number 16 Bus Shelter, Violence and Midnight Chardonnay had been allowed.

UNUSUAL NAMES
Allowed: Violence; Number 16 Bus Shelter; Midnight Chardonnay; Benson and Hedges (twins)

Blocked: Yeah Detroit; Stallion; Twisty Poi; Keenan Got Lucy; Sex Fruit; Fat Boy; Cinderella Beauty Blossom; Fish and Chips (twins)

:shock: :shock:


"Come on in, Number 16 Bus Shelter, your tea's ready. And bring Benson and Hedges with you" :lol: :lol:

Hmmmmm :scratch: not sure :lol:

In my company, email addresses are made up from the first name initial, middle name initial and then the surname up to a total of 8 letters before the "@" - so Ultimate Handyman would be uhandyma@ultuimatehandyman.co.uk for example.

New person started and they had to think of a different format for Mrs Carol Untworthy :shock:

I heard a tanoy call in my local supermarket for a Mrs Goodlay, which isnt such a bad name, but imagine a conversation that goes like this....

'Here, guess who I bumped into the other day'?
'Who'?
' jackie'?
'Jackie who'
'Jackie, you know, one of the Goodlays' :toothy7:

Ms. Shagshaft
