Surprising Names that Are Banned Around the World

Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii

Two New Zealand parents temporarily lost custody of their daughter in 2008. At the hearing, the young girl complained that her absurd name was causing undue embarrassment. A judge agreed, saying the name “makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and a handicap.” The girl chose a new name, which wasn’t revealed to protect her privacy. Presumably, that means just Talula wasn’t an option.
