Chinese Couple Tried To Name Baby @

A Chinese couple tried to name their baby @, claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child.
The unusual name stands out especially in Chinese, which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke characters to represent words.

The whole world uses it to write e-mail, and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," the father explained. While the @ is familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word 'at' to sound it out - which with a drawn out 'T' sounds something like 'ai ta,' or 'love him,' to Mandarin speakers.
