As the BBC reliably informs me in the little box "unusual names", Kiwis can't name their child "Twisty Poi".

"Number 16 Bus Shelter" is allowed though, in case you were looking for an alternative for the love child of your firespinning liaison. I'm sure "The Big Tent at Common Grounds" or "PLAY 09 Behind The Cocktail Bar" would be fine, too.

But remember you have to stay under 100 characters, so "behind the back three beat weave with inverted butterfly lockouts" is okay, but "She wore her poi in a little sling around her neck and hooped so fine that I just couldn’t help approaching her with my contact staff" is overdoing it.

Just so's you know.
