“Gianna” jumped up 52 spots on the girls’ list to take the 24th spot on the list, coincidentally Kobe’s Laker number, where as “Kobe” moved up 379 spots, landing on the 216th spot.

“2020 has been an especially emotional year for families, filled with stress, loss, and uncertainty,” said Linda Murray, BabyCenter’s global editor in chief. “At a time like this, parents are seeking comfort by naming their babies after people they admire, especially those who’ve passed on. We expect this trend to continue well into 2021.”

Celebrities are also naming their children in honor of the pair. Kobe’s former teammate Pau Gasol and wife welcomed a daughter to the world in September, naming her Elisabet Gianna.

Politics and technology have also influenced 2020 naming trends. The name “Kamala” is up 100 percent since 2019 thanks to the first female African-American/Asian Vice Presidential nominee, Kamala Harris. The name “Liberty,” due to the birth of political commentator and The View host Megan McCain’s daughter, is up 69 spots.
