<p>and that's where you end up with daft spellings to get those daft names...</p>

<p>Rogue - would they allow Rohg</p>
<p>Knight - do they allow Night/Nite</p>
<p>King - would they Cing</p>

<p>I have seen the name 'Martial Law' (was a person that came into NZ and this was their legal English name)</p>

<p>I locked a kid up once called Wolverine. I was only mildly jealous that he got to be named after an X-Men character and I didn't. We used to come across kids with stupid names on an almost daily basis working in some of the rougher suburbs around Auckland. Not necessarily names like "Justice" or "Superintendent" or anything, but just names that were completely made up on the spot and had a weird combination of Z's, Y's and Q's. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>There was a mobster a few years back who loved his Fords. He changed his name by deed-poll to "James MMM Ford". The MMM standing for Mighty Mongrel Mob. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>That's not where the story ends. As they so often do, he had a bazillion kids and set about naming them all after Ford cars. I can't remember all of them, but the three most notable were Cortina, Fairlane and Customline. All with the last name Ford, obviously. The poor kids never had a chance. </p>

<p>Called one of my bosses "Super-nintendo (insert surname)" by mistake a few years back. He didn't get the Simpsons reference. Even after explaining it to him, he didn't think it was as funny as I did...</p> -

Given us Engineers use "Superintendent to the Contract" under AS2124 in Straya as opposed to "Engineer to the Contract" under NZS3910 in NZ I find tbis quite funny as I can never spell Superintendent properly.<br><br>
This is is Engineering humour. It's slightly funnier than Accounting humour. -
<p>No it isn't.</p>
