BUCHAREST (Reuters) -- A Romanian couple named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitude for meeting over the Internet, a Bucharest newspaper said Thursday.

Daily Libertatea said Cornelia and Nonu Dragoman, both from Transylvania, met and decided they were meant for each other following a three-month relationship over the net.

They married and had a baby this Christmas, whom they decided to name after one of the worldwide web's most popular portals. "We named him Lucian Yahoo after my father and the net, the main beacon of my life," Cornelia Dragoman was quoted as saying.

9. That's cute. How many times are people going to see his middle name?

His name is Lucian Y. Dragoman.

It's a cute little inside joke (that they shared with the whole world).

If they'd named him Yahoo Lucian, THAT would have been cruel.

14. Zoloft will go on to conquer planets in galaxies far far away

All hail Zoloft!

17. Well, if a kid is born

as the direct result of his father taking Viagra, I imagine some people would be dumb enough to name him or her just that!
