Facebook Fan Couple Name Newborn Baby 'Like'

Tweet

A couple from Israel  has taken their love of Facebook to a new extreme: they have named their newborn daughter “Like” after Facebook’s “like” button. The couple, Lior and Vardit Adler, was stumped for an original name when they got the idea from the popular feature on Facebook, which allows users to click on the word and give a thumbs-up on others’ comments, links and pictures.

“We named her Like because it's modern and innovative,” father Lior Adler told Israeli daily newspaper Maariv. “I checked that the name does not exist elsewhere in the country, that was the main condition for me.”

The duo claim it's not that strange of a name and suggest it is the modern equivalent of names like Ahava, which means 'love'. After announcing the birth of Like on Facebook, father Lior says the update was popular and gained 40 'likes'. Something tells us Like might not like the name Like when she grows up.
