Google was once a really silly name.

  When I first saw Google, I thought someone made a typo.

      Interesting. I always thought "Google" was just a clever mix of "googol" (a huge amount) and "Go Ogle", (go look/search/etc). </disillusionment>

        Yeah, I assumed a trademark-ised version of Googol.

  Google is a single word though, and those k sounds are so harsh and interrupting, Duck Duck Go is a really bad name IMO.
