“A name registered at birth remains on the NSW Births, Deaths and Marriages Register forever,” the spokesperson said. “Even if the name is formally changed.”
nice way to fuck your kid up for your 5 minutes of journalism fame there.....
If the name is formally changed, who cares? It's their stupid register that is fucked up forever.
Plus, while it would be awkward as a kid, I could totally rock that name now that I am older.
As an adult it would be the story everybody heard as I introduced myself, "my birth name was methamphetamine rules and I'm being 100% serious"
It would be a hell of an I've breaker "tell us one thing we might not know about you"... "Well my legal name is methamphetamine rules"
