HelpCouple name their daughter Like (after Facebook)

WDYT? Personally, if you take away the association with Facebook, I don't think it's that bad. Not that I would ever use Like as a name, but there are much worse names out there.

Well, this wouldn't be so bad if it were short for Likelike, who was once Princess of Hawaii. Considering it's not, I don't like it (didn't mean the pun).

Ick. It reminds me of people who use "like" as a filler word.

*laughs* Oh, this world.

They also have a daughter named Pie. :D
Which is clearly an excellent name.

Nope, no sexual jokes, there.

Mmm. It's OK. I don't do Facebook so it doesn't remind me of that, but I just don't like it that much.

But what happens if Facebook changes the Like feature? :P It used to be "Become a fan", so there's no reason why it won't change again.

Like being an English word, I would never use it, but if I didn't speak English or if I lived in a country that didn't speak English, I might like it. It's not a bad name if you just listen to the sound of it and not think about meaning.

Ack. This should be a response to the OP.
I'm not a member of Facebook so that reference doesn't mean much to me. I don't like it simply because it's a verb. "Like Surname." It sounds like a commend, not a name. Too weird for me.
