NEWS.com.au | Branded anything but Unique (September 29, 2003)

I guess it's better than a boy named Sue. NEWS.com.au reports on some odd names for kids in America in the last few years.

A trend for naming children after favourite possessions is accelerating in brand-driven America. The records show that in 2000, 49 children were named Canon, followed by 11 Bentleys, five Jaguars and a Xerox. There is also a Gouda and a Bologna, who are named after the cheese and the sausage rather than the places.
