Richey - alive and well in NZ?
New Zealand authorities have blocked a couple's bid to officially name their new son "4real," saying numerals are not allowed.

(For those who don't know, Richey James Edwards was the lyricist for the Manic Street Preachers. He once carved '4real' into his arm with a razor blade during an interview with the NME. He disappeared in 1995, but lives on in Elvis-style sightings and whatnot. The funny side of this post has been totally ruined by this explanation, but ah well.)

Martin Webclaw and Crazy Jo wanted to name their son an arcane string of numbers and symbols. They had to write them out phonetically, including the 'slash'. Poor kid.
