Now Even Baby Naming Gets Social, With Facebook-Linked Name Maker
News updates all day from your Fast Company editors.
The Central Baptist Hospital in Lexington Kentucky just had a Baby Name Generator [3] app constructed for it, designed to help expectant mothers work out the "world's most perfect" or merely "super-cute" names. Its code centers on social media influencers, tech starts, sci-fi characters, notable vampires and so on...and once you've juggled together the world's most SEO-able, Klout-friendly name you can pin it on a virtual blanket and then pin that to Pinterest [4] or share it on Twitter, Facebook [5] and so on. And if you can't decide yourself, the app even lets your Facebook friends crowdsource a name for you by voting on your potential choices. Silly, but fun...and actually taps into an interesting social idea--that our future children's names could be more dynamic than historically typical. At the time of writing, the most shared name was "Schwarzenneger Churchill Ted," for a child that would seem destined for greatness.
