"A couple in New Zealand is planning to call their newborn son Superman after officials rejected their original choice of 4Real...Poor, poor, kid. Unless he is actually an alien from Krypton, naming him Superman is just cruel. Even Superman's name was actually Clark Kent! What amazed me was this line at the end of the article: "In the past [NZ officials] have had to intervene to stop parents naming their offspring Satan and Adolf Hitler." Why, just why, would someone want to give their kid a name like that?!
The name might sound more like a comedian's catchphrase or a fruit juice, but the Wheatons were deadly serious.
Sadly for them, the authorities in New Zealand did not share their enthusiasm for the unusual - their choice was rejected by the country's registrar of births, deaths and marriages.
The rules state that first names starting with a number are not allowed." (BBC)
