Posted on November 22, 2004 by Benjamin Mako HillAnd Debian Was Born People think I’m joking when I say that if I ever have a child, I will name her (or him) Debian. I’m not.
Ah ha, and in the context would be wise to wait 3years for a “new release” unlike GNU/Linux Debian where many people may not agree! Reply
I’ve always liked Ada as a name for a girl, but there’s no way my partner will go for that… well not after she hears the origins. Plus, it does sound quite old-fashioned. Reply
Naming your kid Debian – doesn’t it sound too much like Damian? I’ve never known a Damian that wasn’t Evil – but I could just be watching too much television. Reply
Well I think you’re not the first who named “Debian” a children. There’s a Mexican Birth Certificate from a friend’s son. My friend and I were members of a Mexican Linux User Group located at Southern Baja ;) The link: http://dragon.isci.com.mx/hello/18/943/1024/acta3.jpg Reply
If I ever have a child, I might name her/him Brie.

That’s a good compromise. You can give her the nickname Deb, or him the nickname Ian.

You’d get some great nerdly jokes… “Children should be seen but not HURD” and so on.
