    Torn between wanting to continue ignoring Katie Hopkins, and finding out where she lives and running her over with a tank #thismorning

    Never judge a book by its cover is still just as sound advice as it ever was.

    Yes, but the Da Vinci Code is still as big a load of the chite as has ever been written.
    Thought it was a good read tbh.
  • me and the Mrs went to a kids birthday party a while back and one of the kids had an unusual name , I asked the mum where the name came from and she said "from a unique baby naming website"

    Wanted to point out to her that if it was on a readily available website it probably wasn't unique.
  • isn't true that in Russia and eastern Europe that a lot of kids are named after objects like industrial, factory, roadworks etc?
  • There was a piece in the news recently about this - from New Zealand
    Lucifer cannot be born in New Zealand.

    And there's no place for Christ or a Messiah either.

    In New Zealand, parents have to run by the government any name they want to bestow on their baby.

    And each year, there's a bevy of unusual ones too bizarre to pass the taste test.

    The country's Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages shared that growing list with CNN on Wednesday.

    Four words:

    What were they thinking?

    In the past 12 years, the agency had to turn down not one, not two, but six sets of parents who wanted to name their child "Lucifer."

    Also shot down were parents who wanted to grace their child with the name "Messiah." That happened twice.

    "Christ," too, was rejected.

    Specific rules

    As the agency put it, acceptable names must not cause offense to a reasonable person, not be unreasonably long and should not resemble an official title and rank.

    It's no surprise then that the names nixed most often since 2001 are "Justice" (62 times) and "King" (31 times).

    Some of the other entries scored points in the creativity department -- but clearly didn't take into account the lifetime of pain they'd bring.

    "Mafia No Fear." "4Real." "Anal."

    Oh, come on!

    Then there were the parents who preferred brevity through punctuation. The ones who picked '"*" (the asterisk) or '"."(period).

    Slipping through

    Still, some quirky names do make it through.

    In 2008, the country made made international news when the naming agency allowed a set of twins to be named '

    "Benson" and "Hedges" -- a popular cigarette brand -- and OK'd the names "Violence" and "Number 16 Bus Shelter."

    Asked about those examples, Michael Mead of the Internal Affairs Department (under which the agency falls) said, "All names registered with the Department since 1995 have conformed to these rules."

    And what happens when parents don't conform?

    Four years ago, a 9-year-old girl was taken away from her parents by the state so that her name could be changed from "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii."

    Not alone

    To be sure, New Zealand is not the only country to act as editor for some parent's wacky ideas.

    Sweden also has a naming law and has nixed attempts to name children "Superman," "Metallica," and the oh-so-easy-to-pronounce "Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116."

    In 2009, the Dominican Republic contemplated banning unusual names after a host of parents began naming their children after cars or fruit.

    In the United States, however, naming fights have centered on adults.

    In 2008, a judge allowed an Illinois school bus driver to legally change his first name to "In God" and his last name to "We Trust."

    But the same year, an appeals court in New Mexico ruled against a man -- named Variable -- who wanted to change his name to "F--- Censorship!"

  • V8 - love it :-)
  • In Australia all male children must be named Bruce.

    and Sheila for the sheilas (:->)
  • There's a delivery guy at my work called Adolf.

    Anyone naming their child Adolf after 1939ish needs to have a good look at themselves. And this guy is not over 79 years old.
  • someone called their child "Anal"?

  • Katie Hopkins named her kid India.

    That shows how much credibility she holds, this isn't even worth a discussion.

    I used to work in the same organisation as a Palestinian lady whose middle name (believe it or not) was Hitler. Presumably her parents hated the Jews so much that their daughters' name would always serve as a reminder to her and her family of that hatred
  • thinking of that...you don't see many Winston's around do you?
  • edited July 2013
    Winston at one time was a very popular name for West Indian boys, especially in the 1950s and 60s. There is of course Winston Reed @ WHU
  • BIG ROB. You have got to stop watching daytime TV mate. It will rot your brain.
  • Is she one of those people who just throws herself on any TV show for the attention?

    It would be okay if I even owned a telly, but I don't and this durge confirms why I don't. It filtered through to me via Facebook.....

    Yes i would

    And

    If she is happy to talk absolute shite on TV and mug her self off by not knowing India exists or existed before her kid was born
    Then no one needs to judge her as she is clearly a mad woman who needs a good polling to come back to reality

  • I think we'd all be lying if we didnt form judgements on people based on any information (however limited).

    I wouldn't go on TV about it, but I can partly see where this Katie comes from.

  • Just watched the whole thing. Clearly whatever point she had is undermined by giving her child a "geographical" name !

    Haha touché ! I wonder what SE9 Jr's playmates parents will think when I scream out "Eltham, come here" across the playground !
  • Enjoyed watching the lovely Holly telling her to shut up I must say.

    Thank God the wife talked some sense into me, I had wanted to call my two, Terminal Moraine and Recumbrant Hillock !

    She also took a swipe at red-headed children, tweeting: "Please no more ginger babies. This woman needs to eat."
