Facebook offers widgets for that matter, you can copy paste the code from the Facebook developer site: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
To get a visitor’s name, tou could use Facebook javascript API https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/. You’ll need to create an application and the user will need to authorize it before you’re able to get any information. There are obvious security reasons why you can’t get your visitor’s name.
