- carlmr 6y agoAmericans really love acronyms that spell out a word. BASIC is a word, and it means Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. I don't know why you think it's impossible to have an acronym spell a name?
- mitjak 6y agolol because it's not an acronym in this case, as stated
- carlmr 6y agoThe previous poster said it could be both, not that it is both. Apparently a lot of people think it is, which is because it's such a commonplace phenomenon. That it is a person's name is orthogonal to whether it could be an acronym.

- carlmr 6y agoThen name your kid Basic and you see that any word can be a name, which makes this a meaningless distinction.
