A journalist in Australia legally named her baby 'Methamphetamine Rules' after testing if a government office would reject the name and offer a default option.
She received his birth certificate weeks later and expressed shock about how the name was approved.
"I don’t know how it slipped through," Drysdale said."I’m not sure if someone was overworked, or if it was automated somewhere."Or possibly, maybe they thought Methamphetamine was a Greek name," she said."They haven’t really given us a clear answer." The registrar’s office told local media that the slip-up was"highly unusual" and has already updated its process on approving names."Baby Meth’s" name should be changed to a"normal" name in the coming days, News.com.au reported. "The Registry has since strengthened its processes in response to this highly unusual event," the registrar spokesperson said.
