Stephen McLaughlin has opened a website called namemydaughter.com where he is letting people vote his daughter's first and middle names.

However, he wrote that he knows better than to trust the Internet and thus the final decision will be made by him and his wife, News.com.au reported.

McLaughlin, a web developer, said that the idea sprung when he was sitting on his bed after coming home from work one day and he told his wife his plan.

He said that she was supportive right from the start, even though she had her doubts if he would really go ahead with it but once the domain name was registered, she knew it was real.
