We at Can't F*&N Wait 4 2008 are hardly alone in this edge-of-our-seats anticipation for the Olympics. Over on the other side of the world there is a whole generation of children whose hype will live on, long after the torch has passed. As reported by the BBC, the Chinese are rather fond of naming their progeny after common events and popular slogans.
More than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years. The rise in popularity of the name is seen as a sign of support for the Games being staged in August in Beijing.
Being a child of the 80s, I’m just grateful that my mama had enough sense not to name me Rubik’s Cube.
