Want to Know What Elon Musk Would Name You? This Website Has The Answer
Last Updated: May 30, 2020, 14:52 IST
Website creator Richard Reis has launched a site named, ‘Name me, Elon’.
A couple of weeks ago when Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed that he had named his baby ‘X Æ A-12’, the internet lost it. For one, people simply couldn’t figure out how to pronounce it. And secondly, netizens felt sorry for the poor kid who might just have a hard time explaining why his dad decided to give him this bizarre name.
A few days ago, however, Elon Musk and girlfriend Grimes also revealed how to pronounce their kid’s name. It is “X Ash A 12”, where X is just “X” and the A-12 is just “A 12.”
Now, website creator and the co-founder of a startup, ‘Most Recommended Books’, Richard Reis has launched a site named, ‘Name me, Elon’ where anyone could type their names and find out what Musk would have named them if he had been their dad.
Take a look, I tried mine, you can try yours too:
On that note, did you know that Elon Musk cannot actually name his child X Æ A-12? Turns out, names cannot contain numerical or special characters, as per California laws. So even if Musk wants to call his son this, he will have to use a different (and a more conventional?) name in the infant’s birth certificate.

Ресурс сделал Ричард Рейс (Richard Reis), который также является создателем портала «Самые рекомендуемые книги» (Most recommended books). На сайте «What would Elon name you?» можно ввести свое имя (латиницей, конечно же) и получить его вариацию, похожую на имя ребенка Маска. Имя будет разбито на группы символов по тому же принципу, по которому всемирно известный «марсианин» нарек недавно родившегося сына.
Алгоритм сайта Ричарда Рейса пытается подобрать аналогичную комбинацию. Например, на имя Vasilii он предложил следующий расклад: V — натуральное число, λSι — некое космическое агентство (вот тут непонятно, что это за обозначение, «Гугл» не помог) и L-11 — один из дирижаблей жесткой конструкции, построенный на предприятии графа Фердинанда фон Цеппелина. Примечательно, что, судя по всему, когда программа не может подобрать в базе подходящее сочетание символов, она просто «тычет пальцем в небо» и выдает просто что-то похожее на реалистичное написание.
Пока что этот сайт — единственное последствие оригинальной выходки Маска и его партнерши. С юридической точки зрения подобные имена зарегистрировать получится далеко не везде. Например, в Калифорнии, где проживают новоиспеченные родители, государственные органы могут зарегистрировать только имя, которое составлено из 26 букв английского алфавита и апострофа.

Хотите имя как у сына Илона Маска? Этот сайт вас быстро переименует!
Граймс и Илон Маск
В сети появился генератор имен, который сделает из вас ребенка главы Tesla Илона Маска и певицы Граймс. Вам нужно просто ввести свое имя латиницей, а сайт перепишет его в духе X Æ A-12.
Сайт «Назови меня, Илон» (Name me, Elon) придумал программист Ричард Райс. Идея пришла, когда вместе со своим другом он попробовал илонизировать свои имена.
Это было весело, и мы все хорошо посмеялись. А потом я подумал, какие бы были правила для «илонизации» имени? Какие бы буквы стали цифрами, лигатурами и даже (почему нет) греческими символами? Тогда и появился этот «Генератор имен Илона Маска», — рассказал Райс о своем проекте на Product Hunt.
По словам программиста, на создание сайта у него ушел всего один день. Его идея быстро разошлась по интернету и понравилась многим пользователям.
Все работает очень просто. Открываете сайт и вписываете в поле свое имя — обязательно латинскими буквами. Представляете, что Илон — ваш папа, нажимаете «сгенерировать» и смотрите, как вас зовут теперь. Например мое имя — Евгения — в фантазии Илона и Граймс выглядело бы так.
А вот так звали бы Илона, если бы он сам был себе отцом.
Ну, и просто для записи — в имени X Æ A-12 прекрасно все. Кто бы сомневался!
Кроме того, под «илонизированным» именем можно посмотреть еще и его расшифровку. Правда, сайт, к сожалению, не подскажет, как ваше новое имя читается. А вот Илон Маск рассказал, как произносить имя своего сына. Звучит оно так же странно, как пишется.
