I found this a little amusing.
October 20, 2005
A COUPLE in Sweden has named their new-born son "Google", reportedly because the baby's father is a search fan.
The healthy baby boy, born on September 12 this year, was christened "Google Kai" by his father who coincidentally, has a doctorate in search-engine marketing.
According to father Walid Kai, a Ph.D. in search engine marketing from Kalmar in Sweden, the name came to him as soon as he found out his wife Carol was pregnant.
"When we first knew that my wife Carol is pregnant, I said, 'we will name our child Google,'" wrote Walid in an email to who else, but Google. "Everyone laughed and did not take me seriously. My brother said, 'Yeah, name the next one Yahoo Fuji Nikon."
Walid had a small amount of trouble with disbelieving officials at the Kai's local birth registry, but he soon won them over. "I said 'Yes, GOOGLE KAI'. Carol knew how serious I am, she knows how much I adore Google services."
Lebanese-born Walid explained that as his culture has a tradition of calling father and mother a name related to their child, "All our friends and families are calling us Abou Google (Google's father) and Emm Google (Google's mother)."
