Kobe And Gianna Become The Most Popular Baby Names Of 2020

JAKARTA - The names Kobe and Gianna are popular after becoming the names most given to babies born in 2020.

According to BabyCenter on October 23, a baby's name is a reflection of a time. In early 2020, the world lost basketball player Kobe Bryant after having a tragic accident with his son, Gianna.

After that, the choice of names Kobe and Gianna for babies increased sharply. It is known that the name Kobe increased by 175 percent.

The name Gianna has also increased by 216 percent and ranks 24th in BabyCenter's list of 100 most popular baby names.

“2020 will be an emotional year for families, filled with stress, loss and uncertainty. At times like this, parents find comfort by naming their babies people they admire, especially those who have already left, ”said Linda Murray, BabyCenter's global editor.

Apart from Kobe and Gianna, popular baby names also have to do with the current situation. The use of the name Kamala reminds us of Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party's vice presidential candidate, who rose by 104 percent.

However, parents also choose not to name their children with negative names, including Donald, Karen, and Chad.
