Baby Named Vista after Windows Vista

2 Comments | 9 August 2007

On 18 May 2007, Canadian programmer Bil Simser and his wife welcomed a daughter named Vista Avalon. She was named after the Windows Vista operating system.

How did they come up with the name? They were considering “Dev Orion Simser” for a boy, then thought:

Well, if our son’s initials are DOS, a daughter would have [to] be an upgrade. And thus the name Vista was born.

For more details (and some cute photos) check out the full naming story at Bil’s blog, Fear and Loathing.
