For real?

Speaking of people who probably shouldn't be reproducing, meet the Wheatons, who seem bent on screwing up their newborn son for the rest of his life. Well, until he's old enough to legally change his name, anyway.

A New Zealand couple is looking to call their newborn son Superman -- but only because their chosen name of 4Real has been rejected by the government registry.

Pat and Sheena Wheaton say they will get around the decision by the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages by officially naming their son Superman but referring to him as 4Real, the New Zealand Herald newspaper has reported.

The Wheatons decided on the name after seeing the baby for the first time in an ultrasound scan and realizing their baby was "for real."

They decided 4Real was the best way to write it, but the name was rejected because the registrar said a name had to be a sequence of characters.

Pat Wheaton said he was considering appealing against the decision through the courts, but whatever happens he won't be budged on his choice.

"No matter what its going to stay 4Real," Wheaton told the Herald, "I'm certainly not a quitter."

No, but you're certainly a stubborn asshole. And your son is going to have lots of fun every year on the first day of school when he has to explain to his teachers that his name is spelled S-U-P-E-R-M-A-N but pronounced "for real." Yeah.
