The Australian State of Victoria has just banned 46 babies' names. These include 'Seaman', 'Satan' 'Queen', 'Saint' 'God' and 'Emperor'.
My name is really embarrassing and I wish my parents had been prevented from doing this to me.

There was a kid where I grew up called Wayne Carr. And strangely enough he really was.

Could you give me a list of these names?

Don't forget names that invoke bad nicknames, I knew a John Whitehouse who was stuck with John Shitehouse, and a Dave Birkit... Dave birdshit, poor sod.

I feel better knowing that people can't be named 'Cinderella Princess'

The 46 new names are on the net.

They join the already banned names which include 'Dickhead' and 'Bonghead'.

I know a person named 'Yunique'. She was bullied quite a bit, because she was unique.

No she was picked on just like all the other Yuniques

I think it's called nominative determinism.
