Hmmm certainly not to everyone's taste but she could be 'Zee' as a nn, not too bad.
Don't agree that they don't stand a chance... I actually think they are better than the more obvious chardonnay and chanelle's. Different but don't necessarily have negative connotations pther than the parents' are slightly 'out there'.

They're Maori names in the main reflecting family names and places.

Kiri Te Kanawa is NZ Maori, not Australian (geez, first Crowded House, now Kiri!). Her surname is Te Kanawa, first name Kiri, so not all that out-there.

lol try living here and doing a roll call or writing sport certificates! Maori is easy compared to the pacific island names with lots of vowels and a few apostraphes but then I spend alot of time saying ds's names are not maz and jake but something different!!

Yeah, ZQ, but you got your own back foisting NZ-born Russell Crowe on us blameless Australians.

Admittedly Kiri Te Kanawa and Crowded House are not exactly a fair swap for Russell The Yobbo.

ZacharyQuack · 14/01/2009 03:44

Russell Crowe is sooooo Australian.

Kiri Te Kanawa and Crowded House don't even weigh as much as Russ the Yob.

oooh don't want to start a war but don't forget the 'Pav'

ZacharyQuack · 14/01/2009 04:17

Pav is ours.
Russ is yours.
Kiri is ours.
Kylie is yours.
Dan Carter is ours.
Shane Warne is yours.

Talk about cherry-picking!

Hmmm, not sure Sharron Phyllis is a Maori name.
And Zealand-New?

CityChickMarried2BushBaby · 14/01/2009 20:39

I've got nothing against the obviously Maori names, some of which are quite pretty. But there is no z in the Maori alphabet - "Rlexuz" "Chantz" "Korizma"???
