After Baby India, it is Baby Google's time to grab the media world's attention.
While 'Google' - the baby, was born in November 2018, the bizarre name choice of the Indonesian parents Ella Karin and Andi Cahya Saputra caught media attention recently when the parents revealed that the boy has no surname and hoping that their son would be just as useful as the search engine.
Talking to local media in south-western Indonesia's West Java Province, Saputra said that he thought about naming their son inspired by technology when his wife was seven months pregnant. He also revealed that he had considered names such as "Windows, iPhone, Microsoft and iOS" among others, as well as the more traditional Albar Dirgantara Putra, as per Indonesian news reports.
Revealing the reason of 'Google' not having a surname, Saputra has reportedly said that a surname would dilute "the essence" of the name adding that his wife and his family was not initially on board with the baby's name.
Here's baby Google's birth certificate, displayed by his mother:
