What Does Your Name Mean?
In a movie full of classic lines, Bruce Willis' boxer, "Butch Coolidge" in Pulp Fiction delivered a zinger in response to this question from a sultry cab driver, saying, "I'm an American baby, our names don't mean shit."
Not so in New Zealand. There, names mean, well, I'm not sure. Nine-year-old "Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii" - yes, that's her given name (take a minute and let that sink in: her parents actually named her that) - was made a ward of the New Zealand Court so her name could be changed to something a little less humiliating.
Makes me wonder, where was this judge when actor Jason Lee named his son, Pilot Inspektor Riesgraf Lee.
