MONIKER, MONIKER, WINDTALKER

Some Egyptian guy named his daughter, Facebook.

Not to judge, but I'm not sure this is the best idea for that little girl. Remember when YOU were in first-twelfth grade and your name became the butt of a million jokes? Uh-huh.

I get that he wanted to honor the role the social network mega-giant (don't tell me that is redundant) played in the Egyptian revolution of so forth. But, think of that kid running around the playground being called, Facebook. Not to mention the possibility of Facebookworm, In-Your-Facebook, Funny-Facebook...endless.

I am sort of grateful that this hasn't always been a trend.

Can you imagine some of the monikers that could have been hung on unsuspecting baby heads from historic uprisings.

Yeah, think on that ONE.

Then again, historically speaking, there are some pretty interesting possibilities.

Is it too late to change my kids name to Windtalker?
