there really are stupid parents in this world...

i think they must put something in the water down south...

A couple in New Zealand is planning to call their newborn son Superman after officials rejected their original choice of 4Real.
Pat and Sheena Wheaton have been frustrated by rules in New Zealand banning names that begin with a number.
Mum and Dad decided to call their son 4Real after seeing an ultrasound image of him. It was then they realised that their baby was "for real".

Undeterred, the Wheatons now plan to call their newborn son Superman, but have said they will refer to him as 4Real.
The baby's family argues that if people can be known as John Williams III, for example, then why can a number not be used at the beginning of a name?
Officials in New Zealand have been involved in similar disputes before.
In the past they have had to intervene to stop parents naming their offspring Satan and Adolf Hitler.
