In some odd cases, parents seem to have lost encouragement to come up with a suitable moniker for their kid and wished to call the latest addition to the family simply 2nd, 3rd or 5th.
The department''s rules forbid any name that might imply a child holds an official title or rank, so King, Duke and Princess were among those that had been turned down most since 2001.
Justice was the most popular and had been rejected 62 times, while Justus and Juztice also failed to gain any official approval.
In 2008, New Zealand’s family court ordered that a girl, 9, who was named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii by her parents, should have her name changed because it was embarrassing and “makes a fool of the child”.
