What s In a Name?
An Indonesian man loves his workplace so much that he s decided to name his son after it. The five-month-old boy is named Statistical Information Communication Office.
Samet Wahyudi has worked at the city office since 2003 and even told his wife before they got married that he would want to pay tribute to the department by naming a child after it. Their first child was a girl, but he felt that Statistical Information Communication Office was a better name for a boy, so he agreed to give her a more conventional girl name. Then in December, his son arrived and he knew exactly what to name him.

Samet Wahyudi of Indonesia loves his workplace so much that he has named his son after it. His 5-month-old boy’s name is Statistical Information Communication Office.
Even before he got married, Wahyudi knew that if he ever had a son, he wanted to name him after the department he worked in as a civil servant. He made that very clear to his fiancée before they got married, and she accepted his condition. Their first child was a girl, so Samet agreed on a more conventional name for her, but when his wife, Linda, gave birth to their second child, a boy, in December of last year, he knew exactly what his name would be – Statistical Information Communication Office.
