    This is awesome! I do hope name changes are possible, free (or at least affordable) in Australia though! (where I live, you need to go through the King's office... and you pay through the nose and by the letter).
    We don't want the poor boy go through life as "Methy" because his mum happened to host a web short for the ABC when he was born :D

    We have a very similar list in NZ. Although the length isn't quite so hard and fast. There was a young girl who was made a ward of the court so she could change her name from TallulahdoesthehulafromHawaii at one point because she was so embarrassed by her name. It was changed to something much more manageable. She was 8.

    Though, to be honest, you don't really want your child to be bullied because of their name as it's tough enough growing up as it is!

    • @dizzlebizzle8424
      @dizzlebizzle8424 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's not called honesty when you tell a parent what they want for their child because you aren't them and you don't know their thoughts or beliefs so whatever ignorance is in your head is not 'honestly' what is in anyone elses, that's called ego...honestly.

      There's an old SNL sketch with Nicolas Cage where expectant parents are trying to choose a name that other kids won't make fun of. th-cam.com/video/goPerp_BWvs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OY2-XGzMSCtRHAZa

    I think it's great that the government can actually look out for your kid's wellbeing when parents seem to be unable to. A child is not a poster for your delusions of importance.

      poor guy. I've met a few people named "Ajoking" in my life too, can't remember what country it's from now, but it's a legit name in another language that just translates across badly. Then there's names where you have to wonder what the parents were thinking, like All Saints actor Virginia G... (won't say the last name cause for some reason I have problems on this site when I do). If you have a last name like that, why on earth would you give your child a first name like "Virginia"????

    Kirsten, after just watching your interview on another channel I just had to send you a message.
    Firstly, congratulations to you and your husband. It should be illegal to have such a beautiful baby.
    Now, when I saw that the name had gone through I had 2 thoughts.
    1. WE ARE ONE, but on this one, you on you own !!!
    2. One day that precious little bundle will be a fully grown man and Kirsten, when she is old and in a wheelchair will be pushed around by her son, who will probably pin a sign on the back of your chair and leave you in a shop window. Lol.
    From my heart to yours, THANKYOU for being such a perfect AUSSIE!!!
    It’s only in AUSTRALIA that you find our sense of humour…
    That little one is going to be raised by one incredible mum.

    • @RevYars
      @RevYars ปีที่แล้ว +10

      In this video they state that on average 5 names out of 98,000 each year are refused in NSW. That's about 0.005% of names essentially prohibited, which is in turn approximately 98% less than the figure you are suggesting. And I would imagine some of those prohibited names would be things like where a parent has written "Name of baby: Fuck Knows"
