Baby born in Barnes & Noble bookstore in Torrance

TORRANCE, Calif. (KABC) -- A baby boy started life's first chapter at a local book store. The child was born Friday night in the lobby of a Barnes & Noble store in Torrance.

"A lady was in the corner, sitting on the bench and she just started kind of screaming," said witness Delia Ramsey. "Then there was another woman started rubbing her back pretty hard. She was leaning over and just started screaming, 'Get it out!'"

Witnesses captured the dramatic delivery on their cellphones. At first, everyone inside the store was unsure of what was wrong, but keenly aware the woman at the center of the screams was in serious pain. Just moments later, they all found out why.

"I think they should name him Noble," said Ramsey

4. There are a couple of kindle girls out there, maybe they could get together in the future

Will More Babies Be Named Kindle?

I’ve been wondering about Kindle lately. Nope, I’m not talking about the e-book reader. I’m talking about the baby name.

There are hundreds of Kindles already out there. (Humans, I mean. Amazon Kindles number in the millions.) What I wonder is whether the number of babies named Kindle every year will rise significantly in the near future.

Why would the number rise? Well, expectant parents have been hearing the word Kindle a lot lately, thanks to the popular e-reader. So they’re being continually reminded of it. And Kindle is very close to the name Kendall, which currently ranks 133rd for girls and 600th for boys. So parents might start seeing Kindle as a viable Kendall-alternative.

6. The company will be bankrupt before they have a chance to marry

The brick and mortar bookstores are going to become a thing of the past except for maybe the real big ones (like Powell's in Portland).
