Talula Becomes K
I like my name. I really do. Sometimes I wish I had been called something more fancy, with a bit of an edge, but when I hear stories like that one of Talula, I thank my parents for being sensible in their name picking.
See, thing is, there is this 9 year old girl in New Zealand that has hidden her real name for some time now, and has told everyone that she likes to be called K. Random, huh? Well, it is until you learn her real name. Her parents, in a stroke of evil genious, decided to call her Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. I kid you not. Read all about it here. See, I don’t know what drives parents to be this cruel. I mean, ok that you love the idea of calling your girl Apple (random, but acceptable), or even Consuela, but come on, give the little girl a breather! She stands no chance in school when the secret of her real name comes out!
If you have read the article, you will see that parents have named their kids other things too. There is a poor child that goes around the world being called Number 16 Bus Shelter (guess where he was conceived…), another one who is called Yeah Detroit and someone who is called Keenan Got Lucy (guess who the parents are! And who is proud of having bagged a Lucy…).
So Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, or Miss K, as you prefer, I wish you a future full of happiness, and new name, and some normal life. Oh yes, and that your parents are punished in the town’s public square by dancing the hula, naked, for 100 days straight non-stop…
