We were going to name the twins Warez and Lolita, but they didn’t Google well
Despite how it sounds, it’s perfectly OK to Googlewhack your unborn child. The Wall Street Journal expounds today on the importance of having a name distinctive enough to stand out among all the Googley goo, and specifically about expectant parents doing a little search-engine optimization on their offspring. Before their son arrived, Abigail Wilson (nee Garvey, with which she had much higher online visibility) and her husband ran all their name options through Google to find the least common combinations. From those names that passed, Wilson first picked Kohler, but was steered away by husband Justin, who apparently noted all the nearby plumbing supply links. Eventually, they settled on Benjamin. “I gave up trying to find a one-of-a-kind name and decided that as long as he did not share the name with a serial killer, I would settle,” Wilson told the Journal.
“as long as he did not share the name with a serial killer” Of course, if you choose Wayne for his middle name, you’ll be wanting to change YOUR last name when he grows up.
