An Israeli couple wanted to name their daughter something original and modern, so they chose the [popular Facebook button](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dislike-button-1). While looking for [creative names](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/name-meaning), the couple considered a Chinese name as well, but decided to name their daughter "Like" as they believe it is "the modern equivalent of the name Ahava" meaning love. Upon posting a photo of their newborn child, they received 40 "Likes" on Facebook. Although a bit comical at first, the decision to name their daughter "Like" seems like a good choice.
