I didn't realize Shaq had a kid named Shaqir.

Congrats to both. Kobe had a great day yesterday

Wait, Shaq named one of his kids after Shareef Abdul-Rahim? Or was that just a coincidence?

Gianna Bryant?

Gianna? Normal Italian name I believe.

You realize of course that while you're laughing at the names, the names Shaquille and Kobe somehow don't seem so strange anymore.

I think Gianna is a popular Italian name. I knew a girl named Gianna in college.

Those all are Muslim names it seems. I don't know what's so funny about those names....

[ducks]

[Kori Ellis]

they are muslim/spanish/Iwanttobeuniquebuthavelostmyoriginalculturesoimade some up

names.

They are?

Shaquille's kids' names just look Muslim or Biblical to me. Mearah is a biblical name I believe.

Kobe's daughter's name is a regular Italian name.
