Couple Names Baby After Facebook's 'Like' Button

[need4speeds]

I think people are missing the boat on this one, It is becoming more common to give babies 2 names, one more common first name that is not the legal name but rather more informal like (pardon the pun) Jill sandra doe, a informal name that is used at school and home but not the legal name, then a oddball name like, lol, Like some doe. This is done to help stop identity theft in their older years. I believe this is what is being done here.

[citation][nom]Ibn Gozzy[/nom]I think the kid with @ as a name has it worse. However, in Hawaiian, "like" has a different pronunciation; lee-key (sorry, I don't know how to write like a dictionary-but you get the point). And it's spelled the same. At least that doesn't sound so bad.[/citation]

except you are now calling someone leaky, ironic for someone 70+ though

[citation][nom]juncture[/nom]I guess this would be a bad time to say that my sister named her baby "Danger".[/citation]

What is your name?

Kids should not have kids

I have a cousin they named "Mary Chris Smith" (say it fast.)

 

[mdillenbeck]

They named their kid after a horrible tasting failed soda-pop?!? (Look it up, kiddies.) Another oldie for you kiddies - "do you like Like, Shane"... this kid may be responsible for the rebirth of the 80s valley girl dialect.

We will see if they allow this name - governments have been known to disallow names.

Can't believe people use this article to try and draw conclusions on parenting ability. Wow.

 

[dread_cthulhu]

LOL... Hey... that's what I'll name my kid! LOL! /sarcasm

Odd names are ok, but somtimes... people just go a little too far... at least Dvash sorta sounds like a name... and as far as the other kid goes... Eric Cartman said it best... No... More... Pie...

 

[christop]

How creative!!! not..

 

[zak_mckraken]

I checked that the name does not exist elsewhere in the country, that was the main condition for me

Douchebags.

Naming your kid after something they will be insulted for throughout there life shows poor parenting skills from the very beginning.

 

[Repelsteeltje]

How does retarded news like that even make it out into the world and hence on this site? Some people just look for fame and attention in spite of it all, slowly eating away at wherever meaningfulness still left in this pitiful world.

I call a one-to-one chance this Like will be a Big Brother contestant or whatever similar show will disgrace mankind some years from now.

I'd rather be the person being insulted for a name my parents gave me rather than the idiots insulting me because of my name. Children will make fun of anything.

Dear parents,
Please have yourselves sterilized immediately. Thanks.

Your personal preference is irrelevant to the debate. You cannot win an argument just by saying, "Well I would prefer living in a cave, therefore caves are better than houses."
Also, even if children will make fun of anything there is no reason for handing it to them on a silver platter.

[citation][nom]cookoy[/nom]what's your name?Likeno, like what do you call yourself?Likeidiot[/citation]

At least she's not American. I can see that going really poorly...

"What's your name"
"It's like, Like."
"Like what?"
"Like Like, you know?"
"Your name is 'you know'?"

Wooooosh.

That was the sound of an idea with morals passing over your head at mach .82

His point was that having a name that's made fun of only really matters to those who are making fun of it, and they are a sad lot. Who knows, maybe it will give the kid thick skin.

Meanwhile, this is far from the first oddball name given to a kid. Anyone remember the story of Winner and Loser? See: http/www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/07/31/1027926917671.html Long story short, the boy named Winner has been in and out of jail his whole life, and the boy named Loser goes by Lou and is a successful career police officer.
