Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's a baby..

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.

people like this are the reason the earths collective intelligence is declining. how stupid do you have to be to name your kid '4real'? I'm ashamed for them.

I dont understand why they couldnt give him a nice, respectable name but call him 4real as a nickname. at least then when he grows up and goes out into the REAL world, people won't be like, 'dude, your name is 4real? that's the stupidest fucking thing i've ever heard.'

on a side note, i used to work with a guy who changed his first name to knowledge.

When Tim and I were in Atlantic City, we went to a bar and the bartenders name was Elvis...it was his real name of course after the King himself. I thought that was such an awesome name to have though. I think he gets a lot of chicks.

I'm think of when he starts school and they call roll.

"Superman Wheaton?"
"No, I go by 4real."
