These are the baby names you won’t be able to give your baby, so best to scrap them off your list right now! Some of them are just plain whacky while others might be surprised to see their own baby’s name on the list! The list of banned baby names released by the Victorian government that may come off as offensive or obscene. Each of the names on the list were names that parents had actually tried to give their babies at some point, and now join the short list of names that are banned nation wide in Australia. In Australia, the Registrar can refuse to register a birth name in circumstances including any of the following:

It is obscene or offensive

It cannot be established by repute or usage because it’s too long or contains symbols (such as an exclamation mark).

It is displayed in the form of initials or acronyms

It creates confusion in the community

It contains an official title or rank recognised in Australia

It may be considered reasonably likely to insult, humiliate, offend or intimidate a person or group.

How do you take your pulse in 6 seconds?

Count the beats you feel in your wrist as you watch the second hand on a clock. You may be told to count the beats for 6 seconds, then multiply that number by 10. Or you may be told to count for a full minute. Both methods should give you the same result.

How to Take Your Pulse

Taking your pulse is a way to measure your heart rate. When you take your pulse, you are feeling the force of blood as it’s pumped from your heart into your body. You may be asked to take your pulse regularly. Or you may just need to take it when you exercise or when you feel something is wrong.

Step 1. Find your pulse

With your first 2 fingers, press lightly on the inside of your wrist, just below the base of the thumb. You should not be pressing on a bone. The beats you feel are your pulse. If you can’t find your pulse, try moving your fingers slightly to a new spot.

Step 2. Take your pulse

Count the beats you feel in your wrist as you watch the second hand on a clock. You may be told to count the beats for 6 seconds, then multiply that number by 10. Or you may be told to count for a full minute. Both methods should give you the same result. The number you get is your pulse measurement. It is measured in beats per minute (bpm). A normal pulse is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The beats should be regular (evenly spaced).

Step 3. Write down the results
