Alphabet is such a cringe name for a company no less. Especially with the meaning google infers. I bet they giggled like little kids in the board room that day. We're so cunning and witty! hehe!

What meaning do they infer?

[swozey]

That they're going to make a ton of stupid company names and it's their company-name umbrella dad-joke used for tax and legal purposes?

We didn't just all get the memo that that's the joke?

Or it could be that they are obviously a front for the alphabet agencies

lmao. I would love to have been a fly on the wall "We need a new company name!" "Alphabet!" "YES EXACTLY!"

> In a 2018 talk, Schmidt disclosed that the original inspiration for the name came from the location of the then Google Hamburg office's street address: ABC-Straße.
