A couple in Egypt has named its newly born daughter 'Facebook' to honour the role the social networking site played in the 18-day protests in the Arab country that resulted in the ouster of lontime President Hosni Mubarak. Jamal Ibrahim, the 20-something father, gave his daughter the name 'Facebook'
as he "wanted to express his gratitude about the victories the youth of January 25 have achieved and chose to express it in the form of naming his firstborn girl," an ABC News report said. Ibrahim told Egypt's Al-Ahram newspaper that his friends and family have expressed their "continuing support for the revolution that started on Facebook."
