A Journalist’s Bold Experiment Naming Her Baby ‘Methamphetamine Rules.’ Surprisingly, the Name was Approved!
In a jaw-dropping display of audacity, a gutsy journalist decided to challenge her country's seemingly stringent naming regulations. Unfazed by societal norms and fueled by an unyielding desire for controversy, she boldly opted to name her innocent newborn 'Methamphetamine Rules.' To her utter astonishment, her audacious choice of moniker sailed right through the bureaucratic naming process and was shockingly approved without hesitation.
An Australian journalist wanted to test her country’s naming rules by giving her child an unusual name.
Well, folks, it seems like curiosity drove an Australian journalist to push the boundaries of baby naming. Kirsten Drysdale, a journalist from Down Under, decided to use the birth of her third child as an opportunity to test just how far she could go with naming restrictions. Talk about taking the “name game” to a whole new level!
She opted for “Methamphetamine Rules,” which she thought would be rejected, per The Guardian.
Now, I’m all for unconventional and creative baby names, but Kirsten took it to a whole new level. She decided to submit her son’s name as…“drumroll, please”… “Methamphetamine Rules”! Yes, you heard that right. Methamphetamine Rules. Apparently, she thought this name was outrageous enough to be rejected faster than a contestant on a reality TV show.
But it was approved. It will now stay on the birth register forever, even if the kid’s name is changed.
Well, hold on to your hats because the unexpected happened. The nametag reading “Methamphetamine Rules” was given the green light! Can you believe it? This controversial name managed to slip through the cracks of the naming authorities. Talk about a plot twist! And here I was, thinking that only celebrities could get away with crazy baby names like Apple or Blue Ivy.
According to the spokesperson for Births, Deaths, and Marriages, this “unusual name” managed to “unfortunately slip through” their rigorous filtering process. Whoopsie-daisy! The good news is that they promised to strengthen their naming approval process after this incident. It’s safe to say that their “naming police” will be on high alert.
But here’s the catch – the unique and eyebrow-raising moniker will forever be etched in the birth register. Yes, folks, even if the name is formally changed to something more traditional like John or David, Methamphetamine Rules will forever be a part of this child’s official record. Good luck explaining that one at school!
Oh, and for those wondering, Kirsten and her husband have chosen to keep their alternative name under wraps for now. But she did mention that her little bundle of joy is nothing like a meth user. In fact, she jokingly shared that her husband suggested they nickname their child “Speedy.” Well, at least they have a sense of humor about the situation!
So, there you have it – a wild and unexpected chapter in the world of baby naming. And remember, folks, even the craziest names can sometimes slip through the cracks. So, if you’re feeling adventurous, maybe give it a shot and see what happens. Just remember to have a backup name ready because you never know what the naming authorities will approve.
