Filipinos dgaf

That’s an understatement. They even name their kids the first 5 letters of the alphabet.

saw La Salle and Inquirer and thought we had a Filipino LeBron in Philly somewhere

if you’re gonna obviously copy the name why make it suck by adding the ‘h’ 😭

Oh noo

the unchosen one

Buncha beefs in Japan named that before him

But at least Kobe and Colby/Coby sound the same.

Jacob is a very common given name so many people can just name their kids Jacob without worrying about the name being niche.

Kobe was never one of the 1000 most popular boys names in the US until Kobe’s rookie season in 1997, when it debuted at 553rd. It peaked in 2001, with 1552 babies being named Kobe (222nd most popular).

Jalen debuted in the top 1000 at 378th in 1992, when Jalen Rose helped take Michigan to the finals. It peaked in 2000, when 3,513 babies were named Jalen (106th most popular).

Both Jalen and Kobe have remained in the top 1000 every year since they debuted.

In contrast, LeBron has never been one of the 1000 most popular baby boy names in the US.

Kobe Tai.

There were some Coby and Cobi but I hadn’t seen any spelled like the city before Kobe

Kobe sounds like a pretty normal name even outside of being associated with Kobe. LeBron is just LeBron

it’s actually a pretty common ghanaian name, kobe is the nickname for kwabena, look mike for michael. A lot of ghanaians knew about kobe bryant for that reason, because kobe is typically a ghanaian name, i had a best friend growing named kobe before I even knew kobe bryant was a basketball player, and yes, his favorite player was kobe

How fitting

“He was selected by the Detroit Lions in the 22nd round of the 1959 NFL draft with the 256th overall pick. In Week 11 of the 1960 season, against the Lions, Shields recorded a safety.”

That’s my Lions, draft a player and somehow end up losing to him the next season.

this generation has a lot of Luka’s its a popular name and always has been. Its like saying “next generation will have a lot of Anthonys because of Ant”. Luka is just Luke in a different language lol

I can think of at least 2

Not even the only LeBron on his team

LeBron and LeBron Jr

Jalen Rose

per wikipedia: Jalen is both a surname and given name. The given name, as well as variants like Jaylen and Jaylin, rose in popularity in the 1990s due to the success of basketball player Jalen Rose (named for his father James and uncle Leonard).

Damn these people wants their son to be bodied by a kid named after a beef?

Kobe was such a relentless player. Never could be denied or stopped, no matter how much his opposition told him, Kobe stop!

Ehh. Amen and Ausar are both ancient egyptian gods..a lot of black americans are into that type of stuff

It was a typo. They are 7 years old

You’re not real

You had a Reddit account when you were 14, it’s over for you bro 💀

Please take this with all good humor and respect, but please go to hell.

Yeah I’m out.

Right next to LeSotho

Lebanon was right there

LeBranon.

We’re not in LeSyria mate

You mean Lebronon?

No

didn’t have to scroll too far to find this #ptsd

That was Michael B Jordan common mistake

That was the joke

Even people with a leg up like being the son of a GOAT often don’t make it that far. The Jordan kids werent very good and all evidence says Bryce James isn’t going to make it either. That type of pressure is not a great thing…

I actually tried to name my son LeBron. My wife said no. So we made his middle name James. The closet I was able to get lol

Jalen also has the luxury and of sounding less goofy than LeBron. If LeBron was just “Bron” then I bet we’d see a lot more kids named after him

LMAO - that was the first thing I thought of… and really, who the fuck even does that?

If your name is Khaleesi it’s basically just shorthand for “my parents are dumbasses”

Christ, I know someone who did this shit. I feel so bad for that kid.

I can’t name my kid Shaivonte?

If you think it’s a nice name and it comes from a celebrity I think it’s fine, when you get to a name like LeBron though that’s when it gets weird

Big fan of KG and name your kid Kevin? Sure, normal name that isn’t inherently attached to the celebrity

I really don’t care about that, I just think it’s stupid to name your kid after a complete stranger. All it takes is one controversy and that decision ages horribly. Then the kid is stuck with that their entire life.

Everybody’s talkin’ at me

I can’t hear a word their sayin’

Just drivin’ ‘round in Jon Voight’s car

Alright! We’re going to the Hamptons!

Sometimes he spells his name with a G, and an I

So it seems that LeBron B. James is the move then

Michael B Jordan is in a different profession.

Bronny has certainly gotten all the impossible expectation from the public due to his name. He’s an NBA player but that only increased the name based scrutiny.

Come along, Bort

Bort, can we stop for ice-cream?
