Googlable Names

The Wall Street Journal recommends giving out baby names that do not return too many results in Google Search.

I also use Google when coming up with a name for a software project to make sure it does not return anything else; so that it's Googlable in other words! ConfiGuru is an example.

Being African, low internet penetration gives us an advantage that our names are not very common on the web. That's probably true with other non-English languages out there, but I can't speak for them.

In my case Google even suggests my name when you misspell it. Google is so sweet, isn't it?

Huh! I wanted to coin the word Googlability. Just googled it and found out it has a whole Wikipedia entry for itself!
