Google inspired by aquatic theme, codenamed its Nexus devices after fish

The Galaxy Nexus was developed under the 'Tuna' codename. Then, next year's Nexus 4 had a much more impressive moniker of 'Mako' shark. It was only last year that Google Nexus 5 was also named after another fish - the 'Hammerhead'.

Now the much anticipated Nexus X (aka Nexus 6) enjoying being called by the codename 'Shamu', which is the name of an orca killer whale.

After unveiling few Nexus handsets codenamed mostly after small fish, it time for something which can actually surprise us, something which is too big. By now, some of us must have even come up with the thought that technically a whale is a mammal and not a fish.

But one would surely agree that whale is an aquatic creatures and this justifies Google's inspiration.
