    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> A little boy wearing a No. 24 Kobe Bryant jersey held up a sign that said, "Kobe, my parents named me after you."

    After the game the Lakers invited 5-year-old Kobe Grandstaff and his parents, mom Tandy, dad Tom and 3-year-old sister Kayden, into the locker room, where Bryant took pictures with them.

    "I've met a few kids named Kobe, but never one that young," a beaming Bryant said.

    "You made our life," the mother said to Bryant. </div>

    Sweet. ;D Man, that can be cool. When little boys are wearing your jerseys and having the same first name as you.

    I'm pretty sure that there are many Kobe Bryants, too in USA.

    Is Kobe a casual name in USA? In our country it would be strange.
    Still pretty cool, when your parents give you the name of a basketball superstar:D

    Lol, my friend's parents got a new baby. And my friend said them different name-choices, like: Carmelo, Jermaine, Gerald etc. ;D Those names are VERY UNCOMMON in our country.

    It's not a common name in the US. Kobe is named after a style of beef from Japan "Kobe" beef. His dad liked the name of the steak he had when he visited Japan, and named Kobe after it.

    I want to come to live in USA when I get 18 (to school) and then when I'm older and will have a child, I'll name him Carmelo, Chauncey or Vince. ;D;D
