A girl named Facebook?

         Dont get me wrong i like Facebook, its useful but i would think that if my parents had named me after this famous social networking site i might be a bit ticked. apparently in Egypt following the revolution an egyptian man in his early 20's decided to do exactly what i just said and name his daughter Facebook... why? well the protests in Egypt were mostly organized on Facebook and Twitter so he says  he named her to "express his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth." and this protest on Facebook was on January 25th ending Hosni Mubarak's 30-year reign as president of Egypt. i dont even know if i fully understand this... its just weird and quite sad. but i guess everyone has their own reasons.
