Judge forces name change for 9 year old

July 24, 2008, 10:16 am

In a rare move, a New Plymouth Judge has forced a nine-year-old's
parents to change her name.

The lawyer for the girl, originally called Talula Does The Hula From
Hawaii, told the judge she was so
embarrassed by her name she refused to reveal it to friends. Her lawyer
said she feared being mocked
and teased.

Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt temporarily placed the girl in the
court's guardianship in February
while a new name was picked. In his ruling, Judge Murfitt said the name
made a fool of the girl,
setting her up with an unnecessary social disability.
