How many people named Kyle can fit in one place? For one Texas city, not enough.

Another attempt by the city of Kyle, Texas, to break the world record for the largest gathering of people with one name fell short Saturday despite 706 Kyles of all ages turning up at a park in the suburbs of Austin.

The crown is currently held by a town in Bosnia that got 2,325 people named Ivan together in 2017, according to Guinness World Records.

Ok, but which one got to be the best Kyle? We had a Josh fight a long while ago and they ironed that one out in a day or so.

I was trying to remember the name, I immediately thought of that when I saw this. I love how it turned into a fundraiser for a nearby children's hospital and a canned food drive.

Winner of the Best Josh was a 4 year old kid from the hospital too:
