Aww, I Really Like Like….

An Israeli couple has taken their love of Facebook to a new extreme: they have named their third child Like, in honour of the button on the social networking site that allows users to express their approval of someone else’s online actions.

Lior and Vardit Adler, who live in Hod Hasharon, told German press agency DPA that giving their children uncommon names is something they like to do.

Their other two children are called Dvash, which means honey in Hebrew, and Pie.

“If once people gave biblical names and that was the icon, then today this is one of the most famous icons in the world,” Lior Adler told DPA.

At least they did not name them status!

Many CBCNews.ca community members who read the unusual story offered some cheeky quips.

“Stick em up!” wrote holyroodstudios.

Commenter Jasonf6 said it was a good thing the police were called. “It could have turned into a sticky situation.”

“Obviously a case of male bonding!” joked Sentient Human.
