Think you like Facebook? Think again.
An Israeli couple likes Facebook so much that they named their newborn daughter "Like." You know as in the like icon on the popular Palo Alto-based social-networking site.
"To me it is important to give my children names that are not used anywhere else, at least not in Israel," the father told the German Press Agency dpa."If once people gave Biblical names and that was the icon, then today [the Facebook Like] is one of the most famous icons in the world."
Like is Lior and Vardit Adler's third child. The other two are named Dvash (Hebrew for "Honey") and Pie.
The couple said the sound of the name was also important to them. Lior says Like has a "nice, international ring to it."
Lior and Vardit Adler's friends and families were described as reacting "incredulously" when they were told of little girl's name.

Why not ROFLMAO?
That would be a good name for a boy and maybe LOL for a girl.
“Meh” already taken?
...so I was, like, talking to Like on Facebook, and she, like, told me she totally likes Mike... /valley girl
The whole world’s going insane.
bttt
Yo, dude, like, why would you, like, you know, do that to a baby?
For the first 10 years of my life, I thought my parents named me “Dammit.”
They must be those “like minded” people I’m always hearing about.
Like Like dude, do you like having like Like as a name?
It’s all about the adults. Kids be damned! They’re accessories to the parents! WHo cares about how the kids feel about their retarded names! It’s all about me!
Was your brother named Jesus Christ?
There’s got to be a “Who’s on First” type joke in here somewhere.
Why can’t you be more like Like.
Like Who?
Like Like.
I don’t like Like.
Why don’t you like Like?
Like doesn’t like me, so I don’t like Like.
I’m not Catholic, but I think the Pope is right about the need for serious people to return to giving their children biblical names.
And, oh, btw, study after study has shown how resumes get sorted based on the name of the person alone, with no racial or other identifiers.
A person with a really dumb name was likely raised by really ridiculous people, which impacts that person’s likely ability to be an employee at a certain level.
That is all.
How about ‘Liken’ or ‘Lichen’?
I only disagree with the verb tense.
