It's not a secret that the world has gone Facebook potty but have this Israeli couple gone too far?

New parents Lior and Vardit Adler, who are already parents to daughters Dvash (meaning honey in Hebrew) and Pie (after the traditional English meal), decided to name their third child 'Like' in honour of the Facebook feature which allows users to like or dislike posts from friends and family.

Explaining that they wanted a unique name for their child, dad Lior said: 'To me it is important to give my children names that are not used anywhere else, at least not in Israel.

'If once people gave biblical names and that was the icon, then today the Facebook Like is one of the most famous icons in the world.'

Naturally the proud parents announced the birth on Facebook first receiving over 40 likes instantly - it just remains to be seen if they call their next child 'Poke'....

Talking of unusual names, iMama Andrea P explains that she too wanted an original baby name for her daughter.
