Since blog pioneer Robert Scoble’s lovely wife Maryam gave birth three hours ago to their uniquely named son, Milan William,  he has posted a dozen messages about it on Twitter (I share his network), as well as downloading pics of the lusty new arrival from his mobile phone’s camera.

This might annoy most women who have just given birth, but Maryam is a great blogger herself, and is most probably encouraging Robert to post the lastest news. She can also understand why the nurses are drooling over his iPhone, and just before going into labour, gave hubby a great looking Canon 5D camera.

Us Twitterers were naturally curious about Milan’s unusual name, and this is what the proud father said:

“Milan is, indeed, named after the city in Italy. Maryam always wanted me to take her to Italy and I never did. Milan came instead. ”

I think he owes her a visit now, don’t you? I only hope she likes it!

I wonder what children think about being named after cities or countries as they grow older, like Paris, India and Brooklyn, do they long to be called Stephen or Jack, Emma or Kylie instead?.

*My new “baby” came this morning, and I can’t wait for it to be setup, the slimline Dell Inspiron 530s. I’m hoping mine won’t give me sleepless nights and is well behaved!
