MAN GIVES SON RIDICULOUS NAME

Samet Wahyudi, 38, from Central Java, Indonesia agreed to marry his fiancé on one condition: that their child be named for the place where he has worked for the past 18 years. She agreed, the baby was born, and so it received the name “Statistical Information Communication Office.” Mr. Wahyudi told reporters that he got a job as a civil servant in the city of Brebes in 2003 and his office has become like a second home for him, so he wanted it “connected to his son somehow.” Since the name, in Javanese, is “Dinas Komunikasi Informatika Statistik,” the parents have decided to nickname him Dinko.
* That’s better. He’ll never get teased with a name like Dinko.
* Ahh, Dinko. That name takes me back… to the locker room in 8th grade gym class.
* Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim named their kid “Kal-El.” Elon Musk and Grimes named their kid “X Æ A-12” (pronounced “X-Ash-A-12”). This kid got off easy.
* Well, if his fiancé didn’t consider this a red flag deal-breaker, they should be just fine.
