Funny names

This is more indirectly related to your question, but the other day I was surfing around on msn.com looking at the news. I came across an article about a New Zealand judge who had ruled that you can't name your child just anything (first name). The name is question was Talula wears a Hula I believe. She was 8 and was in the middle of a big custody battle. The court made her a ward of the state so that they could contest the name her parents gave her because it was so ridiculous. I have to agree, how could you name your child something like that? The girl even said that she never told anyone her real name. The article went on to list another crazy names that parents had given their children that had to be changed, and some that were admissable. One of the admissable ones was Number 16 Bus Station....I don't know why a parent would name a child that either!

I have not come across funny names in English. But certainly, people keep funny names Recently i met a person in my office, His name when literally translated in to English.. reads " Laughter king".. But i did not laugh when i heard people calling him..as it will offend his feelings..
