Wonder why some people are hell bent on giving their kids popular names instead of encouraging their kids to make names for themselves

I was expecting someone to bring an argument that they should rather name their sons Lionel instead of messi. Well, I stand corrected.

This reminds me of some/many guys were named yakubu during the time of gen. yakubu gowon as head of state.
Or people named Goodluck Jonathan as the luck of coming from deputy to be the head.

Re: Lionel Messi's Hometown Bans Parents From Naming Their Children 'Messi' by Nobody: 12:05pm On Sep 12, 2014
Wow. That's how you know a great man. Everybody wants to associate with greatness.

Some are born great
Some achieve greatness; and
Some have greatness thrust upon them


In which category does Messi belong?

The guy is a shinning star whether y'all like it or not.

chizzy94: C'mon!
These people should put on their thinking caps. He's not GOD or JESUS!

Or are they trying to avoid the situation whereby these kids become professional footballers someday and the commentator would be like "Wonderful skills from Messi, and he passes to another Messi, wow! That was sublime from the other Messi."
its more of not to mistake identity in criminal acts
