BEIJING (UPI) -- Officials in charge of China's identity cards said
more than 4,000 Chinese children have been named after the Olympic
Games during the past 15 years.
The officials said parents registered about 680 children named Aoyun,
a Chinese word for the Olympic Games, in 1992, after China announced
it had applied to host the 2000 Games, and a second wave began in
2002, when 553 Aoyuns were registered following that announcement that
China will host the 2008 Games, the BBC reported Wednesday.
The BBC said Chinese children are often named after events or slogans,
including Chinese translations of Defend China, Build the Nation and
Space Travel.
