Inspired by Facebook, a couple in central Israel have named their baby daughter “Like”. “It’s short and sweet,” Vardit Adler, Like’s mother, told Reuters on Tuesday. “It’s very important to me and to my husband that the names we give our children are unique, creative and totally new,” she said. Six-day-old Like has two older sisters, 10-year-old Dvash, Hebrew for honey, and five-year-old Pie, “as in apple pie,” Adler said.
“I’m not worried about other children teasing Like. Dvash and Pie don’t seem to mind their special names and nobody teases them,” Adler said. Surprised by media attention her newborn daughter was getting in Israel, Adler noted that Like has already received hundreds of comments on her own Facebook page.
My Opinion :
Personally, I don't appreciate the fact that anyone would name their child "Like" or anything that co relates with Facebook or anything technology is a disgrace to any name. Personally this just shows how social networking is taking over the world and now people are even naming their children after Facebook options like in this situation. This is kind of mocking the regular names of the world. It is funny how much popularity they have gotten on facebook from this which then backs up my point on how social networking is taking over the world. To be honest this is very disappointing.
I agree with you. I don't think that the parents should name their child "Like". This is just weird. I will say that it is unique but it is just wrong to name their child over a social networking site. And i agree that this is mocking the regular names in the world and I personally think that the child's name will be made fun of by other people.
ReplyDeleteI agree what you said. As the technology developed, social networking has become a part of our life. And now these couples used the like button as their daughter's name. Although they said she didn't get tease by others, but it doesn't mean she won't get tease in the future. Name follow a person for the whole life. If the parents respect their daughter, they should let her to choose a proper name for herself.
