Some times we may have the thoughts like why we are putting that name some particular why not other? for such type of questions some of the answers are:
GOOGLE:
The name "Google" originated from a common misspelling of the word "googol", which refers to 10 to the power100, the number represented by a 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Having found its way increasingly into everyday language, the verb "google".
WIKIPEDIA:
WikiWikiWeb was the first site to be called a wiki.Ward Cunningham started developing WikiWikiWeb in 1994, and installed it on the Internet domain c2.com on March 25, 1995. It was named by Cunningham, who remembered a Honolulu International Airport counter employee telling him to take the "Wiki Wiki" shuttle bus that runs between the airport's terminals. According to Cunningham, "I chose wiki-wiki as an alliterative substitute for 'quick' and thereby avoided naming this stuff quick-web. Thats why the name is wikipedia.
OXFORD:
Oxford was first occupied in Saxon times, and was initially known as "Oxenaforda", meaning "Ford of the Ox"; fords being very important before the days of bridges.

have a look at inno"cent%" INDIAN
An Indian man walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. He tells the loan officer that he is going to India on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer tells him that the bank will need some form of security for the loan, so the Indian man hands over the keys and documents of new Ferrari parkedon the street in front of the bank. He produces the title and everything checks out.
The loan officer agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoy a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then
drives the Ferrari into the bank'sb underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Indian returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000" ?
The Indian replies:
"Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'
