Poor newborn baby Bing. Little does he know — celebrity parents Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy are likely none the wiser either — that he now commands the same name as the third most popular search engine in the U.S.
Bingham “Bing” Hawn Bellamy, born 7 pounds, 12 ounces on July 9, “popped out after 4.5 hours of intense pushing,” proud papa Bellamy tweeted Thursday.
Bellamy also disclosed the real reason why the couple bestowed the uncommon name on their newborn son. “For those wondering, Bingham is my mum’s maiden name and Bing Russell was Kurt’s dad. Family connections all round!,” he tweeted.
Family connection or not, little Bing may suffer from years of mocking in his teens should Microsoft’s Bing search engine gain enough market share to enter the mainstream consciousness.
But at least Bing won’t be alone — perhaps he’ll make friends with Like, Facebook and Google.
