I'm thinking they should get jail time for even trying!WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.
Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.
"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and ... there's no direct link between the meaning and the name," Pat Wheaton told TV One on Wednesday. "With this name, everyone knows what it means."
But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.
The government office has opened negotiations with the parents about the name under a policy that says all unusual names must be given case-by-case consideration.
"The name has not at this stage been rejected," Registrar-General Brian Clarke said in a statement Thursday. "We are currently in discussions with the parents ... to clarify the situation."
Clarke said the rules are designed to prevent names that are "likely to cause offense to a reasonable person." Satan and Adolf Hitler were proposed names that have been declined, he said.
If no compromise has been reached by July 9, the baby will be registered as "real," officials say.
New Zealand law requires all children born in the South Pacific nation to be registered with the Births, Deaths and Marriages registry within two months of birth.
I mean, its a crime

Has anyone told them this is a child not a puppy and that this child will grow up?
Is this story for reals?

Seriously. That's ing stupid. I'd be pissed if my name was 4real. That's just ing re ed.
Why don't they just spell it Fo'real?
thats uncalled for
I'm naming my kid xyz
I still laugh at that name.
Can you imagine him trying to pick a girl up at a bar? She asks his name and he says, 4Real!
He'll be single for life.
I think it was SoniaTX that said she ran across a kid named Abcde.
I know of 2 kids named Abcde.
I've heard of three.

I'm going to name my daughter Fajita.
as the one quote goes, "what is in a name"
a rose would smell just as good if it was called poop.
a friend of mine tried to name his third child "3J" and they told him the same thing...
a parent should be able to name their kids what ever they want
agreed. as ridicolious as the names might be, its their child. Let people do stupid things as long as they aren't hurting anyone else from their family.
so you're saying "Adolf Hitler" is okay?
I agree with the "Espn" thing. That's just ing re ed.
Of course I've heard of people naming their kid "Aquanetta".
The only thing worse than hanging "Espn" on your kid is naming your kid after a can of hairspray.
