Though we haven’t seen any of the baby pictures, the newest daughter of Lior and Vardit Adler is hopefully cute as a button. Because, well, she’s named after one — Facebook’s cherished “Like” button, that is.
Yes, this Israeli couple decided, after naming their first child Dvash (“honey”) and their second kid Pie that it was time to go digital, and turned to “one of the most famous icons in the world” for inspiration, according to Lior.
He told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz that Like could be a modern equivalent of the traditional Jewish name Ahuva, which translates as “beloved.”
But isn’t Like a weird name? “I believe there will be people who will lift a eyebrow,” acknowledged Like’s proud father. And to be fair, it’s got a slightly nicer ring than “Facebook,” recently bestowed upon a newborn girl in nearby Egypt.
oy i pashet feel bad for her wht were her parents thinking
she will get teased in school!
please dont criticize anyone!
If she was asked her name,what would people think about her reply?(when she gets older)I feel so bad for her!
When this kid is 5, facebook will be a thing of the past. Then how will her parents explain her name?
Why not stick with the name Ahuva and you can call her WHATEVER you want at home!
poor thing she will suffer her whole life. and personally i really dont think people should name their children after inanimate objects or objects at all name her tanya a beautiful name. and btw all those people who said lol u just made fun of the parents and the poor child.
Just wait until FB adds the dislike button…
It will fly like crazy in the arab world, hahahaha!
thats not her
Wow so big knaina harah (by the way i think you forgot to mention her name…. what is it? and why is the word “like” being overused in all these comments?)
like lol
wow those parents are crazy
that pic is not like that is not her
what on earth iwould have to say what each time the name is said
example:Like,likes candy or I Like,like candy
but when you here her name you go what
that is terribly sad
the way human brains work today is sad. Think of the kids future-of her days in school-in college-dating-etc.
“Excuse me miss, whats your name?”
“Like Adler”
The poor poor kid.
thats kinda weird!!!
who are u and where in china ?
that kid is gonna get so harassed………
If I could click “love” on comment #44, i would fifty times…. you made me Laugh out louddddd…..
LOLLL!
id sue my parents!
why do ppl do that to their (precious) children? A lifetime of explaining, being very different, kids making fun (in Hebrew?) etc. etc. And the parents think they are making an intelligent choice. mf la
realy?
yup you’re right i live in china i’m a shluchah here we have apple-pear every single shabbos and most of the time on weekdays.
but ive heard wierder..sky, jet, blanket,
o my friend phone just came over ha ha its literally like callin your baby phone
Very nice comments
I’m sure ppl on facebook would “LIKE” the name but really i dont feel the name (every name has a feeling but i dont feel this one)
Why is it different than “Ahuva” or “Liba” or any other name that translates to a noun?
i love it!!! will her first name be DELL
i like like b/c i like alot americans r known for that
Perhaps the next boy will be called “Comment”…
that sounds a bit weird at first but in our soceity i think it would be accepted you could call her lappie for short!
lol
i ‘like’ that one
Btw apple pear is a real tasty fruit and grows in china
this sounds kind of crazy but i always loved the word “laptop” it sounds french and exquisite..would it be crazy if i named my kid that? is that morally wrong? i can still give him/her a Hebrew name but on their birth certificate it will say laptop. what do u think?
Why didnt they just name her Facebook?
niccceee comment
It’s Pesach Shaini tomorrow-let’s remember our ancestors in Mitzraim who did not change their names.
well at least they didnt name her “dont like”!
ITS A NICE NAME WE SHOULD LEARN A LESSON TO LIKE PEOPLE!! AMEN MOSHIACH NOW

i am laughin 2 hard!!!! love the name…..its ded classy!!
hoo cares if u like the name!!….(i cinda like it!!)
You made me laugh out loud. Thanks! 🙂
chill out guys…….
“Like” as in “to Like someone” on Facebook. When you give a positive vote for someone or something.
like what!!!!!!!!!!!
I have cousins named Stav (autumn), Ohr (light) and Ohn (alef vov nun – strength). Dvash really doesn’t surprise me, but is this name in English or in Hebrew and is it translated if it’s in Hebrew?
some people are so stupid and selfish one day the kids will ask her parents why she is name for and they will answer for facebook
Nice one Number 9!!!!! 🙂
i always wanted to name my kid strawberry shortcake
will that be acceptable?
and the heberw can be uga toot!
You dont get more cheesy than this. לייק!
I just threw up a little
ok so the next one should be named “I” (middle name phone/pod:P)
in this comunity alone there are some with very interesting names.
I Like Dvash Pie !
haha, dvash and pie and like, omg! loool!
CRAZY!!! Soon people will be naming their kids apple pear…
