Nine-Year-Old Wins Fight To Change Weird Name

I just don't get those parents who give their kids wack-a-doodle names. I mean, do they not care at all about their kids being mercilessly teased their entire lives? Or are they just so determined to be different they don't care about the consequences?

A New Zealand family court judge recently expressed concern about some of the bizarre names he's seen recently: twins named Benson and Hedges, after the cigarette brand; a child named "Number 16 Bus Shelter" (boy? girl? who knows?). But those are pretty tame compared to the nine-year-old girl the judge decided to make a ward of the court yesterday so she could get rid of her super-crazy name: Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii.

Apparently, Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii is so ashamed of her name that she goes by the letter K. Now that she's free from her parents' control, maybe she'll change her name to Kay - it's short, simple, and everyone can spell it.
