Naming babies after odd things
In an attempt to lighten up the fiery debate that has been going as a result of this post, I thought I’d bring you the touching news of a baby who will perhaps regret the day he was discovered in the back of a pickup truck.
A doctor found the baby in the back of a truck in the carpark at Bangkok Hospital Phuket. The abandoned baby was only a few hours old when he was found. Hospital staff have been taking care of him, but as of last week, they had yet to give the baby a name.
This week, it was revealed that hospital staff had a brainwave and decided to name the baby after the pickup truck in which he was found.
So Bangkok Hospital Phuket’s baby in need has been officially named… Vigo.
Thank goodness he wasn’t found in the back of a Hilux or a station wagon.

Good thing his parents don’t own a Koenigsegg

In Holland we have an actor named Viggo and he was born “the normal way”, so the name was given by his biological parents.
And Vigo is a big city in Spain, so I don’t see the problem here. :-)

Camry and Audi are quite raunchy to pronounce in Thai. Vigo is fine to me.
