WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) -- New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

"For most of us, when we try to figure out what our names mean, we have to look it up in a babies book and ... there's no direct link between the meaning and the name," Pat Wheaton told TV One on Wednesday. "With this name, everyone knows what it means."

LOL, I fully agree. When my husband and I have children, they will be named normal Christian names or very traditional names like Anne, John, Catherine, Nathan, Samuel, Elizabeth, etc...

I could almost accept “Forreal”. In the same way that I could also be forced to accept a child being named “Holycrap”, “Ohnonono”, or “Justdamn” in honor of the parents’ reaction to the pregnancy test results.
"Oops" "Whoyoubeenwith" "Callmaury"

We do have a name but it’s a secret til he’s born! I’m due so soon I wish he’d come early, but I don’t think so!

There was Six on Blossom. Not that I ever watched it! If television is just wrong, that goes double for Blossom.

My favorite was a woman who was interviewed on Chicago TV a few years back whose name was “Female”, pronounced “FUh-MA-Lay.”

My sister went to school with a girl named “Vagina” (pronounced like “Regina” with a “v” instead of an “R”)

I went to school with a girl named Anita Dickey.

SUSAN: What is that? Sign language?

GEORGE: No, Seven.

SUSAN: Seven Costanza? You're serious?

_________________________________________________________

JERRY: Seven? Yeah, I guess I could see it. Seven. Seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating, and eventually seven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service.
