Swedish couple names baby boy “Google”

By

A Swedish couple has chosen to name their first born son Google, after the well-known search engine. It was bound to happen, but come on people! Google Kai already has his own website at www.google-kai.com, which is good because with your name being Google you best be on the web.

The father, Elias Kai, says he’s a “great fan” of the search engine and wanted to honor the service by naming his son after him. But Mr. Kai says he and his wife also chose the name because of the similar word googol. “[Googol] means 1 followed by 100 zeroes,” stated Mr. Kai, “and I want my son to have lots of friends.” Google’s weblog on hearing the news said “We wish him long life and good health, and hope his schoolmates aren’t too hard on him”.
