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.

The Wheatons decided on the name after seeing the baby for the first time in an ultrasound scan and realising their baby was "for real".

  And why couldn't they just call him 'Foreal' or 'Forreal'? The government regestry could not object on the basis of having a numeral in his name & it was their exact comment on seeing the sonogram of him. Hello???
