BABY NAMED “METHAMPHETAMINE RULES” AS A JOKE

Kirsten Drysdale, a journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Company, wanted to answer a question many viewers have: Are there any names you can’t legally use in Australia? Apparently, you have to have your baby’s name approved by the government. Drysdale had a new baby boy, so she submitted the name of her third son as “Methamphetamine Rules” to New South Wales Births, Deaths and Marriages. She said they “wanted to submit the most outrageous name they could think of, assuming it would be rejected.” But it wasn’t. Now, she wants to officially change her son’s name to something less, uh, cool. A spokesperson for Births, Deaths, and Marriages says they will work with the Drysdale to change the child’s name, although “Methamphetamine Rules” will remain in the system.
* We all know how governments love a good joke.
* Does she have a cracked head?
* What about her other two sons, Magic Mushroom and his brother Bath Salts?
* “Methamphetamine Rules” is getting a lot of pushback from Australians who say Crack is King.
* Still not as weird as Elon Musk’s baby names. (Some of which are X Æ A-Xii, Exa Dark Sideræl, and Techno Mechanicus.)
