FallowEarth Posted March 13, 2006 CID Share Posted March 13, 2006 Earlier this year there was a story about a couple who named their baby Yahoo, in honor of having met over the internet. That story turned out to be a hoax invented by a Romanian reporter, Ion Garnod. But now there's a case, apparently true, in which a couple decided to name their baby Google. In response to whether he thinks his son will be teased in school on account of his name, the father stated: "not if he is using Google Search engine and he is building new idea with his friends around The Psychometric and Informational Structural Mind." I have no idea what that means. However, according to the Google Blog, the baby's full name is Oliver Google Kai, which means that Google is his middle name, which isn't quite as odd as if it were his first name. <hr> Source: http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/permalink/a_baby_named_google/ <hr> Other sources: http://www.google-kai.com/ http://santh0sh.com/blog/2005/10/20/a-baby-named-google/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsnet2k8 Posted March 13, 2006 CID Share Posted March 13, 2006 I have always known that copyrighted material/names etc can be used along as they are not being used professionally such as artistic names or as a commercial name that will make wages out of it....

richcornucopia Posted March 13, 2006 CID Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think they'll be alright as long as they don't try and sell the baby . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted March 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted March 13, 2006 I think they'll be alright as long as they don't try and sell the baby . Isn't it legal to sell your kids in the US? Meaning there is no law against it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amc11890 Posted March 14, 2006 CID Share Posted March 14, 2006 I think if u give a boy a girl name then that in turn will make the boy tough and learn to defend himself,or vice versa (of course it could cause resentment and anger toward the parents) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
