Oh my goodness, what goes through some people's heads?? That's just nuts.
What, I think "Number 16 Bus Station" is a great name for a kid!

I was wondering if this was to honor where the child was born...or where the child was concieved!!!!! HA!
HAAAA! That is SOOOOO funny! What I don't get is how Talula does the Hula is not OK, but Number 16 Bus Station is? Couldn't you just drop the "does the hula part?" Tallula Belle worked for Bruce & Demi.

I was gonna say, I actually really like the name Talula. I think it's cute and unique. I mean, they let people get away with names very similar to that, or just as odd, so why not just call her Talula? Shoot, I might have to add it to my list of names!
**Ever stop to think...then forget to start again?**
That is just cruel. Poor kids. About as bad as Jason Lee's kid being Pilot Inspektor.

Interesting....I wonder if the US has any laws about naming children. Are there names that we protect our children from here?
I have always wondered this also, because you know there is some idiot out there that wants to name their kid something stupid like Marijuana or Cocaine!!

There was an article in a recent People magazine about Matthew McConaughy's older brother (whose name is Rooster). He named his son Miller Lyte, since that is his beverage of choice and apparently all he ever drinks according to his interview. Sad.
On a similar note, I had a fifteen year old student once who named her son "Jacks Daniel" (yep, the "s" was on the "Jack") and publicly proclaimed that she was naming him after the substance that caused his conception. Classy, eh?
On a more serious note, though, while these examples are pretty hideous, I hope it never gets to the point where the government has control over what we can name our kids.
That's just crossing a pretty scary line, in my opinion.
After all, where would the world be without Johnny Cash's "A Boy named Sue"???
Well maybe the gov't shouldn't have control, but there should be some sort of committee or application form you have to fill out. At the very least people should have to let the crack out of their system before they decide on a name.

I'd be on that committee. My friend's sister works for a hospital and the names these people would come up with! One couple actually wanted to name their baby sh**head (pronouced sha-heed). Another one wanted Nosmoking (pronounced Nosmo-king). I wish I could say I was making this stuff up but it's the honest truth.
I know a girl whose kid is Sh*thead!!! Pronounced sha-theed, of course. Sad, sad, sad...

Ok i have heard of people naming their dogs this and thought it was kinda funny... but a KID!!! that is INSANE!!!

I know we have discussed odd and interesting baby names before, but I thought some of you might find this article interesting. These parents have some serious issues, I believe! A nine year old girl has been removed from her parent's home, and the judge has changed her name. The parents are in the middle of a custody battle.
