New Delhi: In a list of the wierdest name, this name would top. A journalist from Australia chose a remarkable name for her newborn son. However, while proposing the name she thought that would get rejected but it was approved. The Australian mother named her son “Methamphetamine Rules.”
It is worth noting that the “Methamphetamine Rules” is 100% legal in Australia, but authorities are now working to shore up their system after the pro-drug moniker entered their system.
Drysdale’s story for ABC’s WTFAQ, which sought to answer viewer questions, attempted to explore what names are legally allowed for newborns.
In one such experiment, she tried to find out what the baby would be named if the chosen name was rejected by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages and the heavily pregnant woman decided to use her own child to find out after having difficulty getting a response.
“We thought, ‘What is the weirdest name we can come up with that definitely won’t be accepted?’” Drysdale told news.com.au. “We think the methamphetamine regulations will inevitably be defeated, and when that happens, we can find out what name the registrar chooses. “It was really just a fun and curious attempt to get an answer to that question,” she continued.
The error was discovered when her son’s birth certificate arrived in the mail. “I don’t know how it happened,” Drysdale said, “maybe they thought Methamphetamine was a Greek name.” Drysdale would not reveal his son’s real name, which is expected to be legally changed soon.
“Baby Meth’s real name…I won’t make it public because I don’t want it to be associated with this,” she told news.com.au. “It’s a beautiful name and I can tell you it has nothing to do with class A drugs.”
A spokesperson for the Birth, Death and Marriage Registration Authority said: “Since then, the Registry has enhanced its processes to respond to this highly unusual event.” “The vast majority of parents do not choose a name that is obscene, offensive or contrary to the public interest for their child.”
