Funny how nobody knew LeBron was even a name before 2002-2003.

Look at the Kobe from 2000-2003 :applause:
Dude got that recognition from the Finals and rape allegations

[TheMilkyBarKid]

Dude your life must suck!

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Year before LeBron became famous:

6 Babies

Best Year:

110 Babies

= 1733% increase

Year before Kobe:

87 babies

Peak:

1552 Babies

1684% increase

So it's close. Factor in that Kobe plays in a huge LA market and the fact that you can really only name a black baby LeBron where as Kobe is a more versatile name and i gotta give the edge to LeBron.

[Mr. Jabbar]

notice how 2004-2011 lebron was steady at around 95 babies per year, then after the decision it was cut to half and rings* have not mattered, you know ghetto parents who name babies after famous ppl dont want their sons to become shortcutists

June 26, 2003: Drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 1st round (1st pick) of the 2003 NBA Draft.

Doesn't count 2003..




June 26, 1996: Drafted by the Charlotte Hornets in the 1st round (13th pick) of the 1996 NBA Draft.

Counts 1996.. :biggums:


Go back to the drawing board.. you're drunk.

True but LeBron in '02 was as much a household as Kobe in '96 (cause of the HS hype). It's a fairer comparison.

[bigkingsfan]

Who's going to be the first to name their female kid Lebron.

[Poetry]

Funny how nobody knew LeBron was even a name before 2002-2003.

People were too busy naming their babies after my boy LeRon Ellis to even think about 'Bron :dancin

Just like Kobe's dropped after he raped someone

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Is Baby name% increase the best way to rank players? I think so.

[fiddy]

If you had an IQ over 40, you'd realize that I was actually propping up Kobe here if anything. LMAO at this mental midget. :roll:
stay salty junior

[Akrazotile]

Kibe has an advantage in this statistical category because parents naturally want to provide realistic expectations for their kid.

A top 5 player all time like Lebron is a very daunting comparisn for a young child to be able to live up to, but someone like Kobe who is just a volume scorer on a great organization is more within the reach of an average, middle-of-the-pack child.


If you dissect the numbers I am sure you will find that the Lebron parents are more ambitious and optimistic about the future of their children, whereas the kobe parents are realistic, and understand that the world still needs garbage men and front desk help at the tanning salon.

fiddy
so clever :sleeping

ready to jump from the cHeat ship when Bran ditches them?

[Nikola_]

Peak Kirbies >> All LeBabies combined:applause:

[NZStreetBaller]

I dont think this has alot to do with the players really.... Kobe's just a cooler name. my GF wants to name our boy (if we have one) Kobe and she doesnt even watch basketball.

[SexSymbol]

How did Chris Bosh's stardom impact the name Chris on babies?

[SexSymbol]

Weak era for baby names

[Smook A.]

Is Bosh even the most popular Chris on his team?

[Mr. Jabbar]

naming babies is the ultimate fandom proof, bran fans are in for the short run and do not appreciate the moral values he stands for

[fragokota]

It's retarded to name your child after a pro athlete competing for money to begin with...

Even so, it's normal that Kobe as a name is more popular now.The teens that grew up watching Kobe at his prime are now of age to have children...Lebron stans are still in their majority too young to have a family and a kid...

Jabbar you can do better than this man...

[AirFederer]

Kobe carried by Shaq

[Derka]

Probably the dumbest chart ever conceived in human history.

Seriously, it could come in second place to "Which historical dictator would you allow to perform a Dirty Sanchez on you?" and that's about it.

[NumberSix]

How many girls named Kobe doe?

[iTare]

michael jordan. goat gonna goat.

[DonDadda59]

Let's be real- both names are stupid as hell. One's named after a cut of beef, the other's on some ghetto French bullshit.

[Crown&Coke]

I know two people who named their kid Kobe. One is a complete idiot so he gets a semi-pass.

I know of no one who named their kid Lebron.

I know of about 10 babies named Michael/Jordan. Hell, my ex GF named her build a freakin bear Jordan and she don't even watch ball. She said the shoes look nice :roll: :roll:

what the hell is this world coming to

[Joyner82reload]

Who the hell would name their kid LeBron? No disrespect to LeBron as a player, but his name is absolutely terrible. Must be crackhead single mothers or something

[Inactive]

Who the hell would name their kid LeBron? No disrespect to LeBron as a player, but his name is absolutely terrible. Must be crackhead single mothers or somethingYep. Same people who name their kid Dwyane.

[BigBoss]

Pretty sure we're missing information. A LOT of girls are named Lebron too.

[NumberSix]

LeBron is named after a title for a king.

Kobe is named after Japanese food.

[Shade8780]

LeBron is a ghetto ass name. Kobe isn't.

That's like saying more people called their daughter Serena than Sharkeisha.

[KBaller33]

Probably has to do with the names more than anything. Who wants to name their kid "LeBron"?
