4 Real

A New Zealand judge has had to block a couple from naming their child, "4 real." I don't think he should have had to. I also wonder why a judge didn't have bigger fish to frye.
People think they're being cute, but they're causing their kids a lifetime of hassle.
Example: If you name your boy Jhon, (and I've seen it recently) the poor guy, everytime somebody asks his name, he has to spell it, or say, "the h before the o. When I first saw John spelled that way, I thought, "the idiots don't know how to spell John." That very well may be the case.
Remember Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue?" He had to learn to fight. Why don't people realize they're hurting their own kids?
I feel sorry for somebody with a common name like Jones or Smith. I guess all the names have been used at least once. But why name a boy Lovie? Luckily, everybody loves Lovie!
If you make up a name, they can't just say, "that's with an E, they have to spell the whole thing.
I once knew a man who, when he couldn't remember a person's name, he'd ask, "Is your name spelled with an "I" or an "E?" It worked fine until he asked Mr. Hill.
Come on people. Have a little compassion. At least for your kids.
