Baghdad - With many in Iraq regarding the first free vote in half a century as the rebirth of democracy, one woman who gave birth on Sunday named her baby girl "Intikhabat", Arabic for elections, a newspaper reported.
"We called her Elections because she was born on this historic day when Iraqis elected their representatives at the national assembly," the baby's aunt was quoted as saying by the Al-Sabah newspaper on Wednesday.
The Baghdad daily said the baby, born at Baghdad's Al-Alwiya hospital, was in good health.
