The Tallulah Thread Part 2

Haha only just discovered this thread.
My friend is a celebrant, did a naming ceremony where the little girl was named Jenna Talia. I kid you not. Ok on their own. Together, not so much.

Yep, she was meant to be Orpah, but it got misspelled on her birth certificate.

This is the second incarnation. The first thread from memory had a couple of hundred or so pages, but got lost in the hacking last year unfortunately.

Unfortunately yes. She would be about 6 or 7 now I think so hopefully she is bright enough to say at school that she doesn't have a second name. The parents put an "h" on the Taliah I seem to recall, as if that made any difference. Idiots.
My friend has had some truly strange experiences at namings, weddings etc. Hyphenated married names give her a laugh, like Ms Bigg married Mr Wood.

You would think that name combination would be rejected actually. I think Births, Deaths and Marriages have some power to reject the worst cases, don't they?

They do I think. Not sure if the bride ever did hyphenate her married name, or those of any children. My friend just tells funny yarns about the jobs she has done. You'd think BD&M would outlaw some of those kids' names, poor little things.

I reckon there will be a lot of legally changed names in future years, If I was named a lot of these names I dont think I would ever get used to it. as it was mum gave two of us two names and called us by the second, my bother was cleverer than me , he had it changed as early as he could , I wasnt as smart, so every legal thing I get called by my first name. got to the stage I even answer to it comming out of annescitic(sp) . she had her reason Dad named us the first names and they didnt stay married.

My sister - Samantha Jane - has always been known as Jane. Mum just put the names that way "cause they run together better". Same woman who named my other sister Sinfi, chgose my name by asking female friends at a lunch, and taught Sinfi to say "remarkable pineapple" by the age of 1 for a party trick.

I loved her ... but didn't much like her.

Sorry, I meant Jenna Taliah should have been rejected, not Bigg-Wood.

I agree. Depends a bit on how you pronounce it I guess.
I was just looking up some of the names that get banned, one site was NZ one and it said "Duke" could be rejected, along with other title names like Bishop. I taught a kid called Duke so obviously not banned in Australia.

OR.. not banned some time ago, maybe banned now?

AFAIK, titles like Prince, Lady and Duke/Duchess aren't allowed here ... but for me it's totally irrelevant. I gave my kids very normal names with normal spellings.

Same for my kids, normal name and only one (reasonable) spelling. The kids I taught called Jarrod...so many diff spellings, had to be careful writing on their work, I hate misspelling someone's name.

I worked for the CES about a zillion years ago .. I learned real fast to ask for spellings of names. It must be 1000 times harder with kids .. especially if they're little.

Yep, used to feel sorry for the Kindergarten kid who would watch his mate write "Ben" and then have to labour through "Zachariah". His mum didn't like it shortened so he always had to write the whole thing. And his surname was a doozy!
