On May 18th, Canadian programmer Bil Simser and his wife welcomed Vista Avalon Simser into the world. Their newborn daughter was named after the Windows Vista operating system.
How did they come up with the name?
The couple had first considered “Dev Orion Simser” for a boy. Then they 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 adorable photos), check out the full naming story at Bil’s blog, Fear and Loathing.
