Well, my dad's friend said that the name was embarassing, and that he was tired of being the "butt" of so many jokes (ha!)

My buddy Mike's last name is Gay.  In fact, he just got married.

It was funny, his wife sent out invitations for her bachelorette party that said "Bekah is going GAY!  Come to her coming out party..."  :)

It's funny.  Homosexuality is generally a degrated state in our society, to state the obvious. :)

More likely he understood it but was trying to act like a jerk.

Neither!

I completely ignored most of the thread and the article, and then made an assumption based on the title.  Shame on me.

Haha, good point.  Regardless of the obvious blunders in the naming of children and applications, Opera is an amazing piece of software.
