Geeky Child Names?

Posted by Cliff on from the just-for-fun dept.

kerrys_1999 asks: "Good friends have just given birth to their first child, Ashton Tate Rogers, named after the heroes of dBase 3. I know Dr Bob, a Delphi fanatic, has children called Erik Mark Pascal and Natasha Louise Delphine. Finally there's the story that Robin Williams named his daughter Zelda after the legendary video games. Anybody know more?"
