“We named her Like because it’s modern and innovative. I checked that the name does not exist elsewhere in the country, that was the main condition for me. When I posted her picture and name on Facebook I got 40 ‘likes.’ Considering that I have only a little more than 100 friends on the network that’s a lot.”
