Egyptian Man Names His Daughter Facebook


     Inspired by the role Facebook played in the recent protests and ultimate overthrow of Egypt's president, the twenty-something year old man felt a need express his thanks, and and did-so by naming his newborn girl "Facebook."
TechMeme translates the snippet from Al-Ahram (one of the most popular newspapers in Egypt):
     A young man named Jamal Ibrahim in his twenties wanted to express his gratitude about the victories the youth of 25th of January have achieved and chose to express it in the form of naming his firstborn girl “Facebook” Ibrahim. The girl’s family, friends, and neighbors in the Ibrahimya region gathered around the new born to express their continuing support for the revolution that started on Facebook. “Facebook” received many gifts from the youth who were overjoyed by her arrival and the new name.
....Facebook though? Really?





xoxo,
Miss Nwoka
