Baby Name Contest Hoax: Belly Ballot Not Actually Paying Woman $5,000 For Naming Rights

[RockaFowler]

Last week, the story of a "mom" who had agreed to let the Internet choose her baby's name for $5,000 went viral. The tale garnered interest in part because it seemed unbelievable. It turns out, it was.

Belly Ballot, a website that allows friends and family members of expectant parents to vote for their favorite baby names, contacted The Huffington Post about its contest offering one expectant mother $5,000 to let online voters choose her new baby's name. Lacey Moler, the site's co-founder, put us in touch with the "winner" -- a woman allegedly named Natasha Hill, who was later revealed to be an actress named Natasha Lloyd.
