7. Facebook



In 2011, a man in Egypt named his newborn daughter "Facebook" in honor of the role the social media network played in bringing about a revolution, according to a news report.
Gamal Ibrahim, a 20-something, gave his daughter the name "to express his joy at the achievements made by the January 25 youth," according to a report in Al-Ahram, one of Egypt's most popular newspapers.
 
Many young people used Facebook and other social media networks to organize the protests, which began January 25 and ultimately led to the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak after 30 years in power. Wael Ghonim, a Google executive who organized a Facebook page on his own time, became a central figure of the revolution.

9. Dovahkiin



Talk about a dragonborn. While most of the country's gamers were entranced with Bethesda Softworks' newest RPG blockbuster Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a couple actually named their newborn son after the game. Back in February 2011, Bethesda issued a challenge to its fans to have a baby on 11/11/11 and name it "Dovahkiin," which is what the main character is called throughout the game. While the company issued it more in jest than anything else, they did offer a serious prize: "A Steam key that will grant you, and presumably Dovahkiin him/herself, every ZeniMax/Bethesda game — past, present and future — for life."
 
Sure enough, Megan and Eric Kellermeyer answered the challenge, and on 11/11/11 at 6:08pm PST, Megan gave birth to Dovahkiin Tom Kellermeyer. The couple shared their blog post about the baby, sent in the necessary documents and won the coveted lifetime swag. The Bethesda team also has a picture of the infant surrounded by the first batch of his great gaming reward. "Be it the real world or the game worlds we create, we wish young Dovahkiin the best in all his adventures," the company says on their blog post.

11. Version 2.0



A proud US father and self-confessed engineering "geek" has named his son after a computer software term. Jon Blake Cusack, from Holland, Michigan, told local newspapers that the US practice of adding "Junior" or "II" after a boy's name was too common.
 
So, when his son was born in 2004, he decided on the name Jon Blake Cusack 2.0, as if he were a software upgrade. Mr Cusack admitted that it took months to persuade his wife, Jamie, to accept the idea.
