Fight the power.
Kiwis Pat and Sheena Wheaton may be forced to abandon their brave battle with authorities for the God-given right to name their son "4real", but have announced similarly creative backup plan.
If a legal challenge is not mounted, The New Zealand Herald reports the infant will bear the official handle "Superman". According to the loving couple, the boy’s family will still call him "4real".
Superman is such a better name than 4real.
Borderline child abuse, whatever they decide.
Giving way to the inimitable introduction: “I’m Superman, but my friends call me 4real”
Could be worse. They might have named him “Ape” or “Girth” or “Chug.”
I gotta say, Zen, that is a killer pick-up line.
Worst name I ever saw was Latrina.
“4Real” is stupid, but you could probably name a kid “Maeby” and get away with it, which doesn’t strike me as /that/ much better.
Zen,
LOL. That is my laugh of the day.
ArC:
That sort of thing only really flies if your father is an analytical therapist.
“Hi, I’m Superman.”
“Are you for real?”
“Why, yes, as a matter of fact…”
