In Sweden you can't have Superman or Asterix as a child's name, but you can have Tarzan and Batman.

There's actually a law to prevent a person using said names?
What if a person with one of those names wants to visit Sweden on holiday, would they not be allowed in?

Perhaps you should test out that theory on your next holiday, Superman?

There's a solicitor in Brighton called Mr Whippy, should you ever get yourself in trouble with the law.
There are about 99 reasons why that's funny (and I'm sure he's heard EVERY one)
On the subject of dumb names, the new Nintendo console is called the 'Wii' (yes, it's pronounced that way), which, from the point of view of someone working in a shop which will sell these things, will be funny for about 3.2 seconds when every customer says "Can I have a Wii please?"m, then laughs like they did every time someone asked for a "P" on BlockBusters.
Not content with giving their console a silly name (I'm assuming 'wii' means something different in Japanese), they then decide that the first game released for said console is to be called 'Wii Sports'.
You couldn't make it up...

I heard this on the radio earlier and a bloke phoned up to say that he'd called his son Queens Park Rangers...
Very funny exchange ensued where the presenter (Victoria Darbyshire?) obvioulsy didn't believe him at first but gradually it became clear that he was deadly serious...!
Apparently he normally calls the young lad "QPR" for short...
He does have a "middle" name of David (full name Queens Park Rangers David Owen) but the father doesn't expect him to want to use this
When she asked what does the boy think about his name the bloke said "oh, not much yet, he's only six months old...!"

I used to work with a girl called Tuppence Moore, apparently her mother's name was Penny.
