Google sends gifts to Indonesian baby named ‘Google’

United States technology giant Google has sent gifts to a baby boy named Google by their parents in Indonesia, local media reported on Wednesday.

Google was born in November but his birth certificate went viral recently after his mother posted it on social media.

Some online commenters quipped that he would find it hard to search his name on Google.

“They sent several items as a token of appreciation, including a baby jumper,” the baby’s mother, Ella Karina, was quoted as saying by Tribunnews online newspaper.

Google’s mother said she was initially opposed to her husband’s idea to name their second child Google, but now she has no regrets.

“We thank `technology giant Google’ for their attention. We are more confident now,” Ella said.
