Following news that Brangelina named twins, son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline, it appears there’s a global trend toward more sensible names for babies. And, when they aren’t sensible, some courts may remove children from parents regarded as abusers because of the bizarre names of their children.

Family Court Judge Rob Murfitt stated his concerns in a written decision after a custody hearing in New Plymouth, New Zealand, revealed a couple had named their child Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. He was so disturbed at the effect on the nine-year-old that he ordered her temporarily placed under court guardianship so a suitable name could be chosen.

How about Talula Bankhead?

“Nobody can be exactly like me. Sometimes even I have trouble doing it.” ~Tallulah Bankhead
