WIKINEWS claims: An Egyptian man in his early twenties has named his newborn daughter ‘Facebook’ following the 2011 Egyptian Revolutionwhich was almost solely organized on the social-networking site Facebook. The father, Gamal Ibrahim, told the Egyptian newspaper Al-Ahram that he gave his child the name to “express his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth.”

well, we already have “like:… http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-13417930
can “twitter” be far behind? or “blog”? why hasnt anyone named their baby AOL or “email”? sheesh!
baby bebo etc. Harper Seven seems to have gone though, maybe there’s a harper social network in the US.
I misread the guy’s name as “Gmail Ibrahim”.
Face-book ? Well If my parents would call me ‘Facebook’ I would be unhappy. That is just weird. In Poland two years ago Mother and Father called their child beech and they even had the affair in court. Sometimes people’s got strange ideas mhh….
My wife would go mad if i wanted to call our child youporn
In a few years, when all about Egyptian revolution is revealed, she will be a reminder of how good ideas turn to shit.
Why not call her something traditional and sensible instead?
Harper 7 for example.
On second thoughts, buy her a car and name her after the licence plate.
It’s a cheap way to get her, her own personalised registration.
