We heard that a baby boy was named as Google after the world’s most popular search engine by his father years ago. Recent news reported that a newly born baby girl in Egypt is named as Facebook by her father. Apparently, not like the aforementioned boy Google’s father, Egyptian dad Jamal Ibrahim is not a geek.
