Couple wanting to name new son "4real"

We've heard about the Swedish couple that wanted to name their newborn daughter "Metallica".  If you think that's crazy, there is a New Zealand couple wanting to name their new son "4real".

Pat and Sheena Wheaton said they decided to name their new baby "4real" shortly after having an ultrasound and being struck by the reality of his impending arrival.

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.

The government office has opened negotiations with the parents about the name under a policy that says all unusual names must be given case-by-case consideration.

"The name has not at this stage been rejected," Registrar-General Brian Clarke said in a statement Thursday. "We are currently in discussions with the parents ... to clarify the situation."
Shoot!  If I could have numerals in my name, I'd change my name to "xoxoSweetAngel14xoxo". 

Update:  I've decided that "Metallica" and "4real" are decent names compared to this baby name "Urhines Kendall Icy Eight Special K".  Urhines is pronounced "Your Highness" and Special K refers to Ketamine which is a recreational drug.  Way to go mom and dad!
