Egyptian Girl Named Facebook


It is official: Social Networking has achieved a new level of dominance. A twenty-year-old Egyptian man chose to name his daughter 'Facebook' to celebrate the website's role in the revolution on January 25th. We can laugh and joke about the seeming ridiculousness of this choice...but it is undeniable that 'Facebook' is much more than a social networking website for Egyptians...it is a platform for achieving political freedom.

  1. This is hilarious in my opinion. What is next, a child named twitter? At least that sounds better than facebook. What is going to happen when that child grows up and makes it's own profile? A facebook profile named facebook? LOL

  2. At least they didn't name her little "Netflix."
