Gamal Ibrahim, an Egyptian citizen, has named his newborn daughter "Facebook," following the social media's part in bringing about the recent revolution.
Ibrahim says he gave his daughter the name "to express his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth."
Many of the youths in the nation used Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks to organize the protests, which began on January 25th and eventually led to the end of President Hosni Mubarak's 30-year reign.
"The girl's family, friends and neighbors in the Ibrahimya region gathered around the new born to express their continuing support for the revolution that started on Facebook. 'Facebook' received many gifts from the youth who were overjoyed by her arrival and the new name," adds the Egyptian paper who broke the story.
