After Rosario, Argentina, resident Héctor Varela named his son Messi — in honor of hometown hero Lionel Messi — government officials banned parents from naming children after the soccer superstar. According to Mundo Deportivo, officials expected a flood of babies named Messi could “lead to confusion,” and they’d apparently rather deal with school rooms full of di Marias and Cambiassos. The timing seems a little off here. Lionel Messi is a four- time World Player of the year, and he’s been a superstar for Barcelona for going on nine years. Now we’re all of a sudden worried about too many Messis? http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/09/lionel-messi-hometown-bans-parents-name 3 Likes 3 Shares

Not entirely true... It's not just for Messi alone, it's a ban from a 1969 statute that forbids parents from giving their babies a surname as a first name. 1 Like |

Everyone wants to Identify with a Star. When GEJ became president, the name "Goodluck" became popular in Nigeria. Heck my Grandpa named one of my cousins "Goodluck", we all politely asked him to change it o, make the pikin no grow hate am. 2 Likes 1 Share |
