The Chinese are naming their kids Aoyun, meaning "Olympic Games":
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.
I guess it beats the old Soviet model when Russians named their kids Stalina and Traktorina after a mass murderer and a machine. Those are girls names. This is mostly a boy's name. But then the Chinese select for that.
