Great minds think alike!

Why using "Hula" in New Zealand, anyway? They should have just called her TIKI, a name not uncommon there..

...nor here, for that matter

Since she's from New Zealand, they should have named her "Maori with a Dowry"

:wink:

Geez and I thought my name was/is weird (Regan) - that's just silly. I wonder what drugs they were on when they named her that -- and where can I get some?! LOL
