Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a baby.. Wed Aug 8, 9:23 AM ET


WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A New Zealand couple is looking to call their newborn son Superman -- but only because their chosen name of 4Real has been rejected by the government registry.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton say they will get around the decision by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages by officially naming their son Superman but referring to him as 4Real, the New Zealand Herald newspaper has reported.

The Wheatons decided on the name after seeing the baby for the first time in an ultrasound scan and realizing their baby was "for real."

They decided 4Real was the best way to write it, but the name was rejected because the registrar said a name had to be a sequence of characters.

Pat Wheaton said he was considering appealing against the decision through the courts, but whatever happens he won't be budged on his choice.

"No matter what its going to stay 4Real," Wheaton told the Herald, "I'm certainly not a quitter."

A spokesman for the Department of Internal Affairs, which operates the registry told the Herald discussions with the Wheatons about their son's name were continuing.

The baby is now two months old, after the Wheatons first applied to register his name in later June.

those names are tame.

thats pretty bad... but!

i know a girl who gave herself an english name... "Garfield" no joke.

i was recently introduced to my moms-friends-son... who set his english name as "Turbo" (im guessing he watched too much initial D or to much FF)

as for myself, i watched a lot of westerns when i was 3 or 4 years old.

[eastcoastS14]

christ people are fucking stupid.....what the fuck ever happened to nick names....thats why you name your kid something normal so he doesnt get shit on his whole life....then you can give him a nickname thats as embarassing as you want......this kid will end up hating his parents and getting his name changed if not killing them in their sleep.....4real? im gonna have a kid and name him RUphukingjoking

[SexPanda]

Lol thats like the girl named asshole (pronounced ashley)

Im guessing these people are your average, uneducated thug wanna-be's named Tyrel and She'queefa.

And i'm also guessing these people are white, since they live in New Zealand. I hope the hip hop community is happy they've turned an entire generation into dumbshits. Lmfao

But its ok, theyre all rich. I respect that.

unrelated, but i had a female ferret once that i had named silvia. she turned out to be retarded. quite literally, she had some sort of nervous system defect that made her lose use of her rear legs. so after a while she ended up getting put to sleep from my muffler...... from a silvia.

dont name kids silvia....

I saw something similar on the news today. Some old lady naming her dog Sh!thead... She said, "i don't see the difference between naming my dog Sh!thead and names like Dick for people."
