Canadian Olympian taps Twitter for help with baby name

CALGARY - Olympic gold medallist Meaghan Mikkelson and her husband are turning to Twitter for baby names.

Mikkelson, a two-time gold medallist in women’s hockey, and her husband Scott Reid are expecting a son in September.

They’re asking people to send baby names to bMikkelson12 with the hashtag “NameMyBaby.”

The couple will pick their eight favourite suggestions July 6 and put them to a vote on social media.

Voting will be conducted bracket-style with quarter-finals, semifinals and a final. The bracket will be on Mikkelson’s website meaghanmikkelson.com. They’ll choose their first child’s name from the two finalists.
