Lionel Messi's hometown of Rosario, Argentina, has banned people from naming their children "Messi." And no, I am not joking, you just have to be one of the world's best footballer if not the world best to get the honor.

According to Mundo Deportivo, local officials have passed a law barring residents from using the surname of the world's best footballer as the first name of their newborn sons and daughters.
The law was prompted after a family named their newborn son Messi.

The same article read that, Rosario residents are still permitted to name their children Maradona and Ronaldo.
