Naming baby for Google
Nick Carr writes:
Here's a sign of the times. Expectant parents are beginning to google prospective baby names to ensure that their kids won't face too much competition in securing a high search rank.In Britain and elsewhere, surnames traditionally served to denote the shared identity of a family trade, as in "Smith", and first names were drawn mostly from a relatively small and familiar stock. These days, names are having to carry the weight of our desire to stand out from billions of others—we want them to function as our unique identifiers.
Well, while I have now met another L. Razzell, Google has yet to inform me of another Luke Razzell...
