I thought choosing a name for our newborn should be something carefully thought out as names can have big impacts in people's lives but these days, it seems people just choose a name for their babies without considering the impact it might have on the baby or how socially acceptable such names are. I also thought 'meanings' should be a major factor in choosing a name for a baby.
Naming babies after social networking sites seem to becoming a trend these days. In the news today, a Twitter loving parents named their beautiful baby daughter the 'Hashtag'. The Jamesons family made the announcement via Facebook with a picture of the adorable baby.
Last year, an Egyptian family with crazy love for Facebook named their baby 'Like'. I also read of another man from Egypt, Al-ahram Ibrahim who was very happy with the social networking site Facebook that he named his daughter 'Facebook'. Lol...
Maybe the next couple will call their baby 'Instagram' lol...but seriously what happened if the there's no more Facebook or Twitter? I'm curious to know how these parents would explain the meanings of these names to their children when they are a bit older but would you consider naming your baby after a social networking site?
