Name: Google

With the rise in the unique (and occasionally, odd) names that people are naming their children these days, it was only a matter of time before this was to happen:

A boy named Google

From the article:

    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.

So you may think it would be interesting to give your child a unique name that will really differentiate them from everyone else. It may seem like a good idea to you, but as the years go on (mostly during earlier years of education) what price will your child have to pay?
