Ask HN: Need help with boy's names that are from technology

4 points by yuwu9145 7y ago

Hi, I am writing to just collect some ideas around some boy's names that come from technology. I have got some beautiful names for girls: Ivy - An Angular rendering pipeline Jasmine - A frontend testing framework But I have not got any ideas for boys. I truely do not want to name my boy as "Javascript", "Angular" or "React". So please leave a comment if you have a cool name for boys? Thanks!

none of these will exist as your boy gets older, you better think twice about this

Harvey! https://harvey-os.org/ https://harvey-os.org/ Hugo. https://gohugo.io/ https://gohugo.io/ Guns are technology, so Uzi? Though if you find these examples a bit antiquated, you could always name your boy after whatever you named your first computer: http://wiki.c2.com/?NamesGivenToComputers http://wiki.c2.com/?NamesGivenToComputers
