Abroad it has long since become a trend: celebs competing for the title of the most creative parent as they give their children not only a paparazzi life from the first breath but also a name that will make them stand out.
In Israel, too, this trend is gaining momentum as more and more children are given names that can be called "special."
The latest to do so is Michal Ansky, who gave birth to her third daughter last week and gave her the name "Udi".
If you were wondering what the name Ansky meant, she explained this in a post she posted to Instagram: "In the recitation of Shema we are called to love; ".

Sophie Tayeb has long been more than just Ninet's sister.
She gave birth to her eldest daughter in mid-September, slightly ahead of her sister who was pregnant with her second child, and chose to give the soft offspring a name that managed to surprise many: Sheina Nahum.
The origin of the name is in Yiddish and means "ornament and splendor" and "a gift from God."
Ninet, who gave birth to her second daughter shortly after her sister, chose to name the baby Luna Rachel.
By the way, Luna (Moon in Spanish) is also the daughter of Keren Peles and Noam Tor.

Ben El Tavori and Ortal Amar gave their eldest son a particularly colorful name: the Prince character.
It was a short time before they separated and began to wage a bitter war between them.
The Prince character is already 3 years old and the relationship between his parents is still not very good.

Marina Maximilian and her partner Guy Menach (from the duo Guy and Yahel) chose to give their daughter the unique name Lychee (yes, like the fruit) Lucia.
Her little sister also got a special name: Dominic Tene.
Eyal Golan and Daniel Greenberg were actually quite conservative in choosing the name of their second son, Ron, who was born last month, but their eldest daughter, who was born a year ago, was given the unique name Miel.
What does the name mean?
Depends on who you ask.
Myel is honey in Spanish and French, and is also a combination of the words Who is God.
If you are looking for a slightly more colorful explanation, the name Miel consists of the combination of the letters in the names of the offspring's brother and sister (Golan's other children): Liam, Aline and Jan.
Harel Skaat and his partner Idan Roll, Deputy Foreign Minister, added another sweet offspring to their photogenic family about three months ago.
The baby, a sister to their eldest son Ari, was given the name Isla which in Spanish means island.
