Media personality Maayan Adam has fiercely responded to criticism from fellow media figure Amira Buzaglo, who attacked celebrities for choosing unusual names for their children. Buzaglo argued on Channel 16 that the pursuit of social media attention overshadows children's well-being, stating, "Your child is not a coupon! A child is not PR!" She specifically questioned Adam's choice to name her newborn son "Eito," demonstrating how the name might sound in kindergarten and asserting that children must "deal with the names."
Buzaglo also listed other celebrity children's names, including Miael, San, and Moon (children of Sapir Abisror), Lichi, Dominic, and Tana (children of Marina Maximilian), Tou Prince (son of Ben-El Tavori and Ortal Amar), Ray, Miley, and Shane (children of Miran Buzaglo), Kali (son of Ofer Shechter), and El-Yam (son of Netta Alchimister). During the broadcast, Buzaglo clashed with panelist Orly Mirkine, accusing her of defending celebrities due to personal connections.
Adam, who recently gave birth to Eito, retaliated by targeting Buzaglo's public role as the Tel Aviv mayor's advisor for culture and community. "Is this what the advisor to the Mayor of Tel Aviv for culture and community is concerned with today? What advice does this bloc of evil have for the community? What does she know of culture?" Adam wrote. She also alluded to Buzaglo's first name, suggesting a pause in her criticism of names in Israel.
Adam accused Buzaglo of publicly harming children, questioning her criticism of a week-old baby's name on screen and of older children who can understand her. "What insane shaming of small children, what a severe value failure," Adam stated. She concluded by vowing, "I promise you I will not rest until you are removed from your position, and I have all the patience in the world, in Eito's time and its season."
The name Eito was chosen by Adam as an expression of her belief that everything has its proper time, inspired by the verse in Ecclesiastes: "He has made everything beautiful in its time." Adam previously shared that her pregnancy was a surprise after being told she could not conceive due to a cancerous tumor, and she and her partner had already begun surrogacy proceedings.
