More than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years.
The rise in popularity of the name is seen as a sign of support for the Games being staged in August in Beijing.
Officials in charge of identity cards say that more than 92% of the 4,104 registered Aoyuns are boys.
It is not uncommon for Chinese children to be given names of common events and popular slogans - such as Defend China, Build the Nation and Space Travel.

Aoyun actually has a catchiness to it.
Heck you could have a name that means "foot blisters" but if it sounds cool, it sounds cool.

Aoyun sounds way better than Olympic Games, that's for sure. English fails for coolness in that regard.
