WELLINGTON (Reuters) - 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.
