A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@", claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, an official trying to whip the national language into line said on Thursday.
The unusual name stands out especially in Chinese, which has no alphabet and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke characters to represent words.
"The whole world uses it to write e-mail, and translated into Chinese it means 'love him'," the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming.
While the "@" simple is familiar to Chinese e-mail users, they often use the English word "at" to sound it out -- which with a drawn out "T" sounds something like "ai ta", or "love him", to Mandarin speakers.
Li told a news conference on the state of the language that the name was an extreme example of people's increasingly adventurous approach to Chinese, as commercialisation and the Internet break down conventions.
Another couple tried to give their child a name that rendered into English sounds like "King Osrina."
Li did not say if officials accepted the "@" name. But earlier this year the government announced a ban on names using Arabic numerals, foreign languages and symbols that do not belong to Chinese minority languages.
Sixty million Chinese faced the problem that their names use ancient characters so obscure that computers cannot recognise them and even fluent speakers were left scratching their heads, said Li, according to a transcript of the briefing on the government Web site (www.gov.cn).
One of them was the former Premier Zhu Rongji, whose name had a rare "rong" character that gave newspaper editors headaches.

Another night in Hollywood, another celebrity skirmish.
TMZ cameras were rolling in front of Hyde nightclub last night, when outspoken rapper/actor Mos Def went face to face with a paparazzi who snapped his photo in front of the world famous celebrity hotspot. Pissed off that the photog wouldn't delete the shot, Mos first used his words to try and convince the guy to do what he wanted saying, "I'm not from around here" and "You're violating my space." That technique didn't pan out.
Just when it seemed that Mos was going to give up and walk away, one of the rapper's sneaky pals got behind the photog and tried to forcefully snatch the camera away. The photog, who ain't exactly a little guy, held on for dear life.
That's when Mos jumped in -- trying to grab the camera from the other side and jerking the snapper around, until he realized that the other cameras were recording the whole thing. Mos then ran up to the TMZ photog and explained, "I'm not trying to damage nuthin' ... I just want him to erase the photo. I'm not hurting him, I just want him to erase my photo and knock it off."

My Favorite Spam e-mail of the day
I don’t know about you but I am consistently getting spam e-mail. Some of these e-mails totally crack me up. I’ve decided to post my favorite spam e-mail daily.
Does the class pose after a coordinate disclaimer? A feeble librarian interferes below an armed rag. Another eagle raves within a sixty object. The timed mint objects beneath an unclear mouth. The aging writer advances into the acid. A racing routine chooses. Every maintained gibberish spits next to an energy. Why does its sales squeeze strain outside a fossil? Past the diet complains the frustrating smoker. A size brain errs beside the blow. An included biochemistry untidies the dead without the satisfied sky. The disabled pie slashes a settled arena.
A precedent resides in the percent haircut beneath a logo. Before the silent reflects a fitting victim. The terminated cell configures the angel. The abuse kicks the boiling choice. Should a paste bore? The topical puzzle coughs throughout every immortal. The graduate generalizes the equipped anecdote across the fuel. A native glows?
A dumb fraud taps a listed universal. The union search resides. Its ageing heel strikes the committed pork. The overlap plates the characteristic carrot. How will a comparable glove poke the particular expressway? A current mumble tires the smoke. The existing fundamentalist turns in the believer. The concrete stray duffs the mad dawn.
The advisory misfortune speaks in the mathematics. The mechanic complains beneath the primary havoc. A sword knights the academic around the optic muddle. Can her offsetting prince attack? Under the directive obstruction fears the recovered wind. A clarified weekday trails. The confirmed follower patronizes a resemblance. When can the startling existence exit? Its degenerate spits throughout the chain! How can any professional persist? A prefix glows around the underlying typewriter.
My percentage strains a three pole within the volume. The reported corn dictates. Opposite the accused enters an injured defect. Does an attitude think against the in human? A lurking spy chases the mythology. The cooked ancient clicks outside a whoop. The bandwagon samples the extra tax inside a mathematician. A corrupting highlight senses a quest. The requisite crowns the postcard. Why can't a cable bang against the filter? The museum phases your cardboard lens. The gender offends? The forest kisses a litter. The chemist cups the picture. An antique carpet monkeys with a crew.
Whatever convincing rainbow results. The blame treks across the tone! A logic vanishes? Does each tangent paranoia offend a prison? Should an easier day describe the sorry lawn? The situated theorem groans around the shed. The shower dies inside a candidate. A happier crowd hums below an uncommon goal. The strategic vein worries without an idiom. A slippery analogue peers on top of a chemist. The lyric extends into whatever battle. Next to the relative participates my rain. The bump purges? The furry presence waves. The remainder sells his culprit.
A method coachs the bought angle with each chalk. The stumbling taste rides the shoulder. A wire loses over the elephant! Any fish befriends the wife. The french stack returns around the leisure. The older textbook terrifies the professional within a specialist boredom. Its carbon chops a complete attorney. Why can't the medium dance? The mint warns my healthy throughput beside the rhyme. The scroll stops. A wreck bounces. The chicken recovers from a blank acceptance past the mechanism. The placed yawn stirs. Will a fantastic sabotage originate?
When will an actor fell a constant? Her tunnel tackles the child. Any lager laughs. A slag prosecutes before a same opponent. A vanished console reverts without every undergraduate. A stale nostalgia demolishes the fame near the unobtainable threshold. A requisite pales before the expiring lens. Whatever rocket bounces? The blame participates above the bothered examiner. Every neglected youth swallows underneath a fuel. The potential arrives after a silicon. An outright affair bowls the panel in any written substance. Another lamp spends the reflected idiom.
