Common sense, please?

Ok, so Aurelia is hardly a common name. I get that. But at least it's better than 'Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii'. That's the name that a New Zealand judge is helping a young girl change.

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.

One mother wanted to name her child O.crnia using text language, but was later persuaded to use Oceania, he said.

Somehow we never got around to the name 'Sex Fruit'. Maybe with the next one. Other names we never really considered:
  • Flex joint
  • Gooney bird
  • Ughlee Qidd
  • Princess Diana
  • Wildstrawberryjello
  • Frank
Really, what's wrong with some parents?

Well, maybe YOU never considered Princess Diana...

I guess we need to reconsider a few of our options....

I like Yeah Detroit. We never really got over not naming Nick Weapon X, so Xander now gets that honor.

Wildstrawberryjello isn't nearly as amusing as Orangejello or Lemonjello.

Anyone who doesn't get the reference should ask Sarita to explain.
