Facebook has become a major part of some people's lives.  Even KHQA has taken a liking to our Fan Page.

It's a place you share information and connect with people in your life.

But would you name your child after it?

One couple did just that. Their newborn daughter's name is "Like" after the "like" button on Facebook.

Their names are Lior and Vardit Adler and according to Israeli news outlet, Galgalatz, they were looking for a unique name for the daughter when they liked the sound of the word "like."

It was then chosen as their newborn's name. According to the Huffington Post, the name was not intended to be a gimmick or even an ad for Facebook.

This is not the first time a baby has been named after the social media giant. It was earlier this year when an Egyptian baby was named "Facebook" because of the website's role in the country's revolution.
