BIZARRE NEWS

Baby cannot be named "4real"
"You can't name your baby using numerals." This is what the New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths, and Marriages had to say to Pat and Sheena Wheaton when they did so. After seeing their son for the first time during an ultrasound examination, mesmerized parents Pat and Sheena Wheaton named their baby "4real." The authorities said that you cannot have a name beginning with a number-it went against the rules. According to the parents, there was nothing wrong with the name; they said "With this name, everyone knows what it means." The government office is apparently in negotiations with the parents on the name. A policy suggests that unusual names must be dealt with case-by-case. The deadline for the negotiations is July 9; if no decision is reached by that time, then the baby's name will be filed as "real."
