Marissa Mayer, of Yahoo, welcomed her son on Sunday. She tweeted that they were looking for a name. Which prompted @JeffJarvis to Tweet: "Just got a large-group email from @marissamayer. She's crowdsourcing suggestions for Baby Boy Bogue's name! How digital can you get?" MSNBC says in their piece that makes Mayer a "digital" pioneer.
I actually beg to differ, I called for a help on naming our baby in May of 1997. Yes, my crowdsourced named baby will be 15 years old in a few weeks. In fact, while digital requests for help baby naming may be new, asking for people's advice on baby naming is a very old tradition. Many people ask for and get help in naming their children, though I'd hazard a guess that it's less likely than it used to be because of the way we look at baby names now.
