Who doesn't like free stuff? But how far are you willing to go to get it? Would you, for instance, do what this couple did, and name your newborn after an Internet provider to get free Wifi for 18 years?

According to Kidspot, the 35-year-old dad, who wishes to remain anonymous, came across a Facebook advertisement from a start-up company, Twifi, offering free internet for 18 years, to anyone who named their child after the company - so a son would be Twifus or a daughter Twifia.

The parents of the little baby girl jumped on board the campaign by giving their daughter the second middle name Twifia.
They said that they would put the money they would have spent on WiFi in a savings account for their daughter. They hope that she'll use the money to buy a car or learn to drive when she's grown up.
"The longer I thought about it, the more unique the name became for me, and that was when the thing got its charm," the dad was quoted as saying by LADbible.
Twifia's mum was a bit hesitant initially, but she later agreed. She said, "For me, the name Twifia also stands for connection in this context. For an eternal bond. There are much worse names. And the more often we say 'Twifia', the heartier the name sounds." The parents have put Twifia on the girl's birth certificate, however, they don't feel truly comfortable about it.

"We want to remain anonymous to those around us because we don't want to justify ourselves. Because the accusation of having sold our child's name hits us very hard. We are also a little ashamed," they said.
