Facebook Button Inspires Dad to Name His Daughter 'Like'
Filed under: In The News, Weird But True, Baby Names

Those names are downright normal compared to the newest baby name to grab headlines: Like.
Yep, little Like Adler was named after the Facebook Like button, PCWorld reports, and Lior and Vardit Adler, her Israeli parents, tell Israeli news site Galgalatz they chose the name because they "liked" the way it sounded and found it "modern and innovative."
Dad Lior Adler, however, tells the site he actually has fewer than 120 friends on Facebook and doesn't really care for the social networking site.
"In our opinion, it's the modern equivalent of the name Ahava (Love)," he tells Galgalatz. "It's just my way of saying to my fantastic daughter, 'love.' "
Perhaps Like will someday meet Facebook, a girl born earlier this year to an Egyptian father, PCWorld reports.
But, for now, Like will join her big sisters -- who go by Pie and Vash (Hebrew for honey).
Eat your heart out Frank Zappa. Moon Unit, Dweezil, Diva? So old-school. Now, who wants to place odds on when a baby named Twitter will make her debut?

heidi said...What a stupid name,how can any parent want their child to grow up with a name like that. The child will be teased in school by bullies it should not happen but it does. Parents should think about their child's future before giving them stupid names that will only hurt the child in the long run.

Lita said...See? It's not only celebrities that pick stupid names for their
children. Perhaps he'll name his next two children "Phlegm" and
"Rectal Polyp--" you know, just to be different. Because "different"
is always better.... Geez.

basketpam said...I wonder if these parents know that today 1 out of 5 parents regret later what they named their child? Something tells me that this set of parents will. Parents think they're being so "cool" and think everyone will think of them as smart and brilliant when most of the world just think how stupid they are. They don't think about the child dealing with such a STUPID name their entire life with all the teasing, confusion and problems. My last name is not Smith but it's an EXTREMELY simple one syllable, ordinary, common last name and it's shocking how often people get it wrong. I thought it was just me, maybe I said it funny and my dad one day said the very same thing. For some reason people think if they name their child some idiotic name it will make them famous later in life. It will help them to get that 15 minutes of fame. Hey, not everyone in this world is going to end up being a Peekaboo Street.

Karen said...The comment about the next thing you know someone will name their baby twitter made me laugh. I gave my 11 yr. old granddaughter the nick name of "Twit" short for nit wit. She has never complained about it. In fact if I don't call her Twit she thinks I'm mad at her. Even with it being short for nit wit it is still a name of endearment from me to her.
