An Egyptian man named his first-born daughter "Facebook" to celebrate the Egyptian revolution and the role social media played in it.
She is Facebook Gamal Ibrahim.
She is Facebook Gamal Ibrahim.
I understand the father's sentiment, but I really wish he went with another choice. "Mesr" [Egypt], "Thawra," [revolution], "Tahreer," [liberation] all make lovely female names. "Facebook"?? Not so much.
Let's hope the new Egyptian constitution will allow her to change her name when she's older.
