By Liz Conor, published 22/2/2011

Names are the first imposition of our own dreams and aspirations over our children's malleable little bodies.

I knew a guy who named his first son Jet and his second Diesel. I'm not sure if Rotary, Twin Turbine or Carnot have been brought into the world yet.

Truth be told, I'm all for bogan names and bogan spellings of orthodox names. They are little alarm bells that warn us of the types of people we are encountering. Of course, many little Zeiks, Huniis Grayces and Harmynees rise above their names and become wonderful citizens. I can't help wondering, though, whether their names put them at a disadvantage when they run for parliament.
