BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A Romanian couple named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitude for meeting over the Internet, a Bucharest newspaper said Thursday.
Daily Libertatea said Cornelia and Nonu Dragoman, both from Transylvania, met and decided they were meant for each other following a three-month relationship over the net.
They married and had a baby this Christmas, whom they decided to name after one of the worldwide web’s most popular portals. “We named him Lucian Yahoo after my father and the net, the main beacon of my life,” Cornelia Dragoman was quoted as saying.
I find it interesting that they named the boy Yahoo “after the Internet”. Yahoo! isn’t the Internet. Why not Lucian Web, Lucian Com, Lucian Dot, or anything other than Yahoo! Yahoo! just isn’t the Internet.
Note that the article didn’t say the couple met through Yahoo! either.
