New Zealand Judge Blocks Name for Baby

[Mrs Behavin]

(June 23) - Actress Gwyneth Paltrow named her baby after a fruit, Apple. Comedian Penn Jillette chose Moxie Crimefighter for his spunky daughter. And while unusual names may be a Hollywood staple, some believe it may cross the line in the real world. One New Zealand judge even blocked one family from using the name it chose. The judge said the name was unfair to the child. "Initially, the reaction is, 'Are you for real?'" said Pat Wheaton, the New Zealand father who was blocked from naming his son 4Real. Wheaton said the idea for the name came when the couple saw the first scan of the child. "We started thinking 'Jeez, he is for real?'" Wheaton said. But when the parents filed the name with New Zealand's Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages, they were told names beginning with a number were against the rules.
