Vint Cerf
If I was one of the "fathers of the Internet" then I'd want a cool as 70s SciFi name like "Vint Cerf" as well. But I didn't, he did, and he has the name.
InternetNZ, an organisation that "manages .nz domains on behalf of all New Zealanders and works to build a better online Aotearoa" held An evening with Vint Cerf, Jefferson Bailey, Dr Rachael Ka'ai-Mahuta, and Wendy Seltzer event back in November 2018 at which Vint Cerf, VINT CERF!! was a speaker.
I no longer feel embarrassed to ask for a selfie* from anyone, people are just people. And this is VINT CERF, he invented the Internet and therefore my whole career, well THE tool that my career is built upon.
* Whilst I will bowl up to anyone and ask for a selfie I will also graciously go away when told, "No, not now". I will also not ask when it's blatantly not appropriate.
