7. Facebook
In 2011, a man in Egypt named his newborn daughter “Facebook” in honor of the role the social media network played in bringing about a revolution, according to a news report.
Gamal Ibrahim, a 20-something, gave his daughter the name “to express his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth,” according to a report in Al-Ahram, one of Egypt’s most popular newspapers.
Many young people used Facebook and other social media networks to organize the protests, which began January 25 and ultimately led to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power. Wael Ghonim, a Google executive who organized a Facebook page on his own time, became a central figure of the revolution.
8. New Folder
A couple from Houston, Texas has given their newborn baby the temporary name “New Folder” until they can think of something better. Ben and Diane Davis could not come to an agreement on what to name their newborn son, so they decided not to rush anything or make any hasty decisions that they would later come to regret.
“Until the very last day we thought the baby would be a girl, but when the doctor told us it was going to be a boy, we were completely stunned and unprepared,” the new father added.
As 30 days is the legal deadline to give your child a name before the state does it for you, the young couple said that they will surely come up with a better name for their kid in the meantime, and if they don’t, they can always name him “Son.1.”
