I find the entry for my country New Zealand to be pretty funny - although presumably less funny for the parents. I especially like that * is a banned name (for technical reasons: I think because it means NULL in the DIA for people with only one name - not because it interferes with search - I would also guess Asterisk as a word is allowed).
