Beau Jessup went viral for her website that gives Chinese babies English names. But after a closer look, many details of Jessup's story don't make a ton of sense.
On Wednesday, BBC Newsbeat published a story about how a 16-year-old from England "has earned over £48,000 naming over 200,000 Chinese babies" after creating a website called Special Name.
The story detailed how, after a trip to China, teenager Beau Jessup was inspired to create a website that helped Chinese parents select an alternative, English name for their children to help them succeed if they choose to work or study in the UK.
The story was quickly picked up by multiple media outlets including the Huffington Post, The Telegraph, and Shanghaiist.
