Here is the condensed version of the story presented today on WPRB NEWS PRESENTS THE WEEK IN REVIEW earlier today.
Just when you thought you’ve heard every bad baby name you could possibly hear, some people in New Zealand came up with another one. The name was so out there, even the New Zealand government banned the parents, Pat and Sheena Wheaton, from registering it on their child’s birth certificate. The baby’s name is 4REAL. Let me spell that out for you. Numeral four-R-E-A-L. 4REAL. Right now, you’re probably asking yourself how in the world did these parents come up with this name. The answer is simple—so simple we couldn’t make this stuff up. The Wheatons decided upon the name when they saw the ultrasound and the father exclaimed “FOR REAL!” The proud parents decided that the aforementioned spelling was the best way to word the child’s odd name. The New Zealand Office of the Registrar of Births, Deaths, and Marriages rejected the name on the basis that no name could have numeral in it. The Wheatons are appealing the decision, but for the time being, their two-month old baby (yes, he’s 4Real) a temporary name. It’s not Bird, it’s not Plane, IT’S SUPERMAN!
