I think he looks more like an OpenSolaris, but maybe that’s just me.

LOL that's hilarious.

That's something I'd do if I had a kid...

Or call him Tux lol, maybe spell it Tucks or something.

Well they are from Sweden. I would think the possibility of being tortured throughout childhood is slightly lessened because of that.

I mean last year 458 people named their kid after the villian from Ghostbusters 2.

I think Linus would be a better name if they wanted to pay homage, but maybe this could be okay. Geeks will love him, and normal people won’t know what Linux is.
