@jegga I presume this is supplementary to my policy?
Which admittedly isn't going to help the poor guy who came back to find arse-shaped dents in the bonnet of his Subaru, but at least might have put a curb on the 15 half-siblings twice removed.
I like your plan, it might help prevent this

@jegga I think I'll call my policy "The Obi Wan Kenobi Plan" - it's our only hope!
What about slipping birth control into monster energy drink in the meantime?
Ooh No!
That would be entirely undemocratic and prejudiced against bogans.
People must sign up to the OWKP of their own free choice.
And they can leave at any point...the process is entirely reversible.....

Come and check out the painters I work with then and see how you feel afterwards. Mines reversible too, stop making shitty life choices like drinking overpriced energy drinks when you earn fuck all [because for the most part you turn up late or not at all] and you stop shooting blanks.

The Government should offer incentives for reversible sterilisation at age 18.
$20K if you've never had a child. $18K if you have.
You can get the sterilization reversed later - but, you have to give the money back.
I think you'll find that needs to be instigated at a lower age than 18!

I like all of the top 10 girl's names.
Am sure it would be possible to boganise them, but they all seem to satisfactorily lacking in misspellings :).
Wouldn't have thought Mia was Maori. Well it might be but I know non-Maori Mias.
Similarly Aria, Ariana (unless Ms Grande has been hiding her Whakapapa all these years), Nina, Ari, and Kai is not necessarily exclusively Maori.

I don't have a problem with any of the top names except a slight antipathy towards a couple of the Maori boys names.
What has become more and more apparent over the last 20 years or so is how cyclical kids names are.
There was a trend for a lot of biblical names a while back but generally what I observe from my age is just how "old fashioned" todays popular names are. Kids of my generation would by and large have hated to be Oliver Jack Noah William etc as these were the names of their grandfathers. When I look at a modern list of kids names - none of the popular names of my school days even appear. Probably because we are now the grandparents ....
Still reckon Dogmeat would make a damn fine moniker for any kid. I suggest it to prospective parents all the time but they're too blinkered to see the advantages

@booboo Mia is bitter in Hebrew and mine in Italian. Maia is from Greek mythology meaning mother. Nina is little girl in Spanish or pretty eyes in Hindi and was a Babylonian goddess. Ariana seems to come from the Sanskrit word Aryana meaning land of the Aryans.
Calling them Maori names is a rather long stretch.

It's not a long stretch to call a Maori name a Maori name even if it is also a name in another language. Personally, I've never come across Nina as a Maori name before but Ariana and Maia are fairly common.

@Mokey said in Bogans with kids:
@Nepia If Maia in Maori is earlier than Greek mythology, I'll stand corrected. Ditto for Ariana in Sanskrit.
I don't get your point. Languages develop differently/independently, that doesn't mean that a language that develops later can't use a word (more accurately the spelling of a word) that has already developed in a previous language.
