According to state media, more than 4,000 Chinese babies have been named “Aoyun” or “Olympic Games”. Apparently, Chinese citizens are very excited about the upcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics.
We just had a new baby two weeks ago, and I can’t imagine naming him after a sporting event. I am not sure that I would even name one of our children “Olympic Games” if we were paid a million dollars. Would you?
Hmmm.
I guess it doesn’t translate well. I hope.
Rob,
The word on the street is that the Chinese are so excited about the Olympics that they are choosing this baby name on purpose… to honor the olympics.
