Some parents come up with extremely unusual names for their children, shocking relatives and registry office workers. Another happy father from Indonesia approached this task in an original way.
Indonesian parents registered their newborn son under the name “Statistical Information Office”. They decided to name the child so in honor of the place where his father worked.
Did Mom and Dad make such a strange choice to be different from the people around them? Or decided to express gratitude to the employer in an unusual way? It will remain a mystery to the general public.
Being original with baby names seems to be becoming a trend all over the world, and this applies to all walks of life. Elon Musk, known for his breadth of thought, named the child born to him by Canadian singer Grimes X Æ A-12 Mask. Fans of the head of Tesla and SpaceX initially thought it was a joke, but no.
Musk himself later said that the name is read in the same way as it is written: “Ex Ash Hey-Twelve Musk.” It contains an encrypted unknown variable X, love and artificial intelligence (for some reason in Elvish), as well as the name of an American reconnaissance aircraft. Grimes adds that the A in the baby’s name is a reference to her favorite song “Archangel” by British musician Burial.
Musk was not allowed to officially register a child under that name by the laws of the state of California, where Ex Ash A-Twelve Musk was born. Therefore, the parents replaced the number 12 in the name with a combination of the letters Xii.
And the laws of Russia did not allow original parents from our country to write down the name BOC rVF 260602 invented by them in the birth certificate of their son. This abbreviation meant “Biological Object Man of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002.” Mom and dad of the child are creative people, apparently, they decided to show their imagination in this way.
However, before the manifestation of imagination in inventing names was quite encouraged, and it was not so long ago. In the first years after the revolution, Soviet citizens also took up word-creation with enthusiasm. Moreover, the names in which revolutionary slogans or the names of heroes were encrypted were registered quite legally. And then small Dazdraperms (“Long live the first of May)”, Avtodors, Fleets, Voenmors, Trudomyrs grew all over the country.
What the children who have grown up and gone to school will say – the Office of Statistics, Ex Ash A-Twelve Musk and other lesser-known victims of parental creativity – one can only guess. There is an assumption that Musk Jr. will still be in a more advantageous position. First, if the father organizes the colonization of Mars by that time, then worse names may arise. And secondly, after all, the rich have their own quirks.
