Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. 36 In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. 37 The only restrictions on parents relate to offensive words such as swear words (脏话).
Some parents choose names which come from popular culture. For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. 38 Since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team.
39 Jordan, the British model, recently invented the name Tiáamii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).
Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose. In China, there are some rules about what you may call a child – no foreign letters or symbols are allowed. 40
In Britain, some names which were previously thought of as old-fashioned have become more popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are not the strange ones. The top names are fairly traditional – Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.
A. The parents finally came up with a plan. B. They decided to call him Superman instead. C. Names related to sport are also fairly common. D. Other parents like to make up or combine names.
E. You can call a child almost anything you like in Britain. F. A couple were recently banned from calling their baby @.
G. Parents there are to blame for naming their child an unusual name.
