A web designer has named his son ‘HTML’ soon after the birth in Philippines.

Hypertext Mark-up Language Rayo Pascual – or HTML for short – was introduced to the world via a Facebook post from his aunt last Thursday.

The web designer, Mac Pascual, decided to name his son HTML as he is very much obsessed with his job.

Moreover, the post was shared more than 8,978 times and inspired numerous jokes from social media users. 

‘baby will grow up to hack the Pentagon. It’s in his name,’ one comment reads.

Several users suggested some computer-based names for any future children: ‘Results-based management system’,  ‘JavaScript’ or ‘Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)’. 

Others were concerned that his unique name could make life difficult for HTML.
