I'm really glad that my dad didn't name me after the Number 1 company on the
Fortune 500 in 1974 and maker of his beloved Oldsmobile Delta 88, General
Motors.

"This just in: Walid Elias Kai, a Ph.D. in search engine marketing, is, it
must be said, an avid fan of our company. Dr. Kai, who is Lebanese, and his
Swedish wife Carol live in Kalmar, Sweden, where their son was born on September
12. His name? Oliver Google Kai.
About this choice, Dr. Kai writes, "When
we first knew that my wife Carol is pregnant, I said, 'we will name our child
Google.' Everyone laughed and did not take me seriously. My brother said, 'Yeah,
name the next one yahoo fuji nikon." And then, says Dr. Kai, the day came to
make the baby official in the Swedish Registry. "I was with my friend Magnus
Foss and my wife Carol, and I said yes, GOOGLE KAI. Carol knew how serious I am
– she knows how much I adore Google services."
Does Naomi Klein even cover the topic of naming your children after multinational corporations in 'No Logo'?
