This has inspired me. I'm naming my firstborn child Talia if it's a girl, and Venom if it's a boy.
Who else remembers these idiots?
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a baby...
Parents look to call newborn ‘Superman’ after government rejects ‘4Real’
Updated: 10:33 a.m. CT Aug 8, 2007
WELLINGTON, New Zealand - A New Zealand couple is looking to call their newborn son Superman — but only because their chosen name of 4Real has been rejected by the government registry.
Pat and Sheena Wheaton say they will get around the decision by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages by officially naming their son Superman but referring to him as 4Real, the New Zealand Herald newspaper has reported.
The Wheatons decided on the name after seeing the baby for the first time in an ultrasound scan and realizing their baby was “for real.”
They decided 4Real was the best way to write it, but the name was rejected because the registrar said a name had to be a sequence of characters.
Pat Wheaton said he was considering appealing against the decision through the courts, but whatever happens he won’t be budged on his choice.
“No matter what, it’s going to stay 4Real,” Wheaton told the Herald, “I’m certainly not a quitter.”
A spokesman for the Department of Internal Affairs, which operates the registry, told the Herald discussions with the Wheatons about their son’s name were continuing.
The baby is now 2 months old. The Wheatons first applied to register his name in late June.

My last name is Jones and my wife refused to let me name my son Indiana. Some kind of anticoolness conspiracy going around.
I'm naming my kids Omega Red if I get a Russian son, Lady Deathstrike if I have an Asian daughter, Gambit if I get a lousiana kid, Wolverine if I get a Canadian kid, or Beavis and Butthead/Ren and Stimpy if I get twins, or George Washington/Abraham Lincoln if by any chance mental defect strikes me at the time.
I'm single for a reason.
