Dee Man Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Long story short, journalist calls her newborn baby Methamphetamine Rules as some sort of idiotic idea to test her local area’s child naming regulations then gets an unwelcome surprise when the name gets accepted and that’s her kid’s name on it’s birth certificate. I’m not one to judge people but what an utter, utter moron. https://amp.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/sep/19/can-you-name-your-baby-methamphetamine-rules-in-australia Have you ruined your child’s life before it has even started? Are you the responsible for your child’s relentless bullying and years of torment? @MONKMAN have considered giving your baby a drug related moniker? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure someone in America called their child Adolf Hitler a few years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydeTon Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Quote “We thought we would submit the most outrageous name we could think of, assuming it would be rejected,” she said. “But it didn’t turn out that way – unfortunately Methamphetamine Rules slipped through the cracks.” If "Methamphetamine Rules" is the most outrageous name they could come up with, I'm very disappointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/30/us/abcde-southwest-apologizes-scli-intl/index.html Quote Southwest Airlines has apologized after a mother claimed its staff mocked her five-year-old daughter, called Abcde, over her name. They were right to mock. Her name looks like boilerplate text. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name looks like boilerplate text. So she deliberately gave her kid a name to draw attention to it and then complains when attention is drawn to it. Makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the responsible for your child’s relentless bullying and years of torment? Yes and yes. It’ll come to no surprise to anyone that Mrs Mathematics’ child has a rather interesting name with roots in her favourite horror movie. I checked the NRS and there has only been one other occurrence of the name in Scotland in the last 40 years. She also chose his middle names in such a way to have a nod at yet another horror movie. You could say it’ll be character building. You could also say he has no chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
