Media personality, entrepreneur, and social media star Maayan Adam is facing public backlash after choosing the unique name "Atto" for her newborn son. The controversy erupted when Amira Buzaglo criticized celebrities for selecting unusual names for their children during a live broadcast on Channel 16. Buzaglo argued that children are not marketing tools, citing Atto alongside other celebrity baby names like San, Moon, Tou Prince, Ray, Shane, and El-Yam.

Adam responded fiercely on social media, questioning Buzaglo's right to offer advice and accusing her of bullying. Adam vowed to work towards Buzaglo's removal from her position, stating she had the patience to see it through "in Atto's time and my time." Buzaglo later issued a partial apology, expressing regret if any children or parents were offended, but maintained her stance on the phenomenon of celebrity children's names being subject to public criticism.

Buzaglo also addressed Adam's threat to have her removed from her role in the Tel Aviv municipality. Buzaglo clarified that her position as an advisor to the mayor on culture and community was no longer current and that she had frozen the voluntary role to focus on her volunteer work as chair of the parents' committee at No'fi Yam school. Buzaglo suggested that Adam, who also works in media, should expect public reactions to her choices, likening it to the saying, "He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones."

The public dispute highlights the intense scrutiny surrounding the exposure of family life on social media. Buzaglo insists on distinguishing between legitimate media coverage and the commercialization of children, while Adam's public battle with her has ignited a heated debate within media circles.
