A few days back I heard a story that Kansas’s capital Topeka, has unofficially changed his city’s name to Google.
Its correct Mr William W. Bunten, Mayor of the City of Topeka, Kansas urge the citizens of Topeka, to recognize and support the continuing efforts to bring Google’s “Fiber for Communities” experiment to the city, and do hereby proclaim that for the month of March 2010, the city of Topeka will be Known as Google, Kansas – The Capital City Of Fiber Optics.
In the Proclamation by the Mayor he refers to the 100 times faster Internet service and the name change is only for this purpose.
In my perspective its a brave decision and i like it. But, there are few drawbacks for naming the city to Google (Topeka).

4. Traveling in Google : I love to Travel at places and if you are planning to visit Topeka, you will now have to search for “Places in Google” or “Tourist Places in Google” or “Bus Service in Google”.
5. Google Weather : What’s the Weather condition today in Topeka ? For that you will search “Weather Google”. Any guesses what will you find?
6. Finding Movies at theaters in Google: Finding Movies is yet another usual thing i search for in Google Search. Topeka people now have to search for a “Movies in Google“.
7. Who is the Mayor of Google : Who are the Political Leaders in a City. How about Finding Mr William W. Bunten, Mayor of the City of Topeka. Now you can find him by Searching “Mayor of Google”

I hope you will like the thought process behind & I would like to have your own thoughts about this. And yes it will be always confusing if you name a City, State or Country name “Google“.
