It was only a matter of time. A man in Egypt has named his newborn daughter Facebook in honor of the social network's pivotal role in the country's political revolution. A major supporter of civilian protests, he was apparently so pleased with the use of social media as a mobilizing force, he felt majorly in Mark Zuckerberg's debt.

The girl's full name is Facebook Jamal Ibrahim, which I guess flows better than AOL or Yahoo Jamal Ibrahim. Personally, I would have gone with Twitter. It's both relevant and adorable.  Plus, the bird logo would look great as a border in a baby's room, right?

Oh, I dunno. Jacquizz, Tejay, Arrelious, NuKeese, Boo and Da'Rel come to mind, good, strong American names for children kinda top that. Mispronounced phonetics seem to rule the country.

Perhaps the key point here is that it's his daughter? Would he have been so cavalier about a son's name?
