Somebody let Alice know about this.

New mom lets Facebook users name her baby

Quote:

Couples can spend days going through books trying to find the perfect name for their bundle of joy, only to spend hours debating their choices and settling on a name that works. One new mom, however, will have no say in the name of her baby.

That’s because she’s letting Facebook users decide the name for her unborn child.
That’s right – the name of Rommy Alpinelli’s first child will be decided by users online after the woman agreed to receive a year of free deals from FabFind if she lets the Internet name her daughter.

According to the Canadian Press, the 34-year-old Toronto resident was talking about naming her child with a friend who worked for FabFind, a site that offers group deals for Toronto users. Her friend pitched the idea at the office and the contest was struck up.

Users log on to the Facebook page to participate – either by suggesting a name or by voting on one already in the running. Alpinelli has to use the name that most people vote for.

I first heard about Alpinelli’s plan on CBC Metro Morning, and she sounded excited but scared at the prospect of having complete strangers pick her daughter’s name.

After all, it’s not like she can veto the winning choice. Right now – it’s Aria.

To claim her year of free deals (estimated to be worth about $40,000), Alpinelli has to show FabFind the birth certificate with the winning name from the contest.

The person who put forward the winning name will win 25,000 FabFind points that they can use to buy items from the social deal website.

What do you think – would you let users on the Internet name your baby in exchange for free stuff?

My eyes they can't roll back far enough. Looks like people will do anything for free stuff. In all fairness the name Aria isn't that bad, there could be far worse things to name your child.

Even if the Aria was not the name, it could be something far worse and the child has to live with that name for the rest of her life. Oh society you have disappointed me so.

Imagine when the child asks her parent,

"Mommy, how did I get my name?"

"The internet picked out your name, honey."

"Mommy, why would you do such a foolish thing?"

"Mommy wanted free stuff dear."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I am amazed that /b/ has not discovered this yet, but they will, and the would-be mother of young Fag-Dicks Alpinelli will get her just desserts.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This is the dialogue that I was thinking of, too.

Ridiculous. She should be so lucky to walk away with a name as harmless as "Aria."

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

If I'm being honest, I'd put my vote behind that name Devo -__-;

How ya doing, buddy?

Aria? Too fucking pretentious.

Either Devo's name or just name the kid either Albel/Sephiroth.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It is better than being named after a type of Tequila...

A lot of people don't put much effort into their childrens' names I'm thinking. Does anyone actually read through a book to choose their child's name anymore?

Really, guys, have you no faith whatsoever in credible marketing? At any rate, even if she didn't like the name, she could change it a year after the kid is born and get a new birth certificate.

Most amazing jew boots

There was a group on facebook a while back called "If this page gets x-amount of likes, my sister will name her baby 'Megatron'"

If I ever have a kid, I'm hoping for a girl so I can name her 'Samus'. Is that wrong? =\

How ya doing, buddy?

Every time I beat off into a towel, I name the load. The last one was named "Lucy" because I have no imagination.

I think everyone's forgetting that there's no way the internet could do worse than her own parents. Rommy? Who the hell names their kid that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

+1 to the Reaver. I think it's a short form for Rosemary.

Anonymous wouldn't be happy when her finds out about 4chan in a 6 years

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Would you name your kid Dumpster for 40k cash?

This lady is doing it for something VALUED at $40,000... It isn't even money.

I hope it is a learning experience for her and humorous for us.

Crowdsourcing FTL.

This reminds me of the kid being named "Version 1.something" a few years ago.

Looks like the winner right now is Melania, followed by Aria and then Willow.

Melania sounds like melanoma.

FELIPE NO

And Aria sounds like areola. And Willow sounds like "Bay-bays don't eat blackroot!" Melania reminds me less of a disease and more of a Russian prostitute or mail order bride.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Can't be the only one who thought this first.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
