Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, 9, Sent to Court Ward to Change Name

A New Zealand judge sent a 9-year-old girl named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii to a ward of the court on Thursday to allow the girl to change her given name.

After being annoyed by parents who give their children bizarre names, Judge Rob Murfitt made the ruling as the girl was caught in the middle of a custody battle between her separated parents.

In the public ruling on Thursday, Murfitt expressed concern at the "very poor judgment" shown by the parents in selecting the moniker. "It makes a fool of the child and sets her up with a social disability and handicap, unnecessarily," said Murfitt.

According to court reports, the girl was so embarrassed by her name Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii that she never even told her friends, telling them to call her K.

The ruling was made in February, but became public on Thursday when it was published in law reports. The girl's new name will not be made public in order to protect her identity.

In his ruling, Murfitt cited a list of bizarre names given to New Zealand children, stating that Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit were amongst the strange names that were blocked by officials. Number 16 Bus Shelter and Violence were allowed.
