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.

Also what about different spellings?
Muhammad, Mohammed, etc.

I think those are only different spellings because of transliteration and are spelled the same in Arabic script.

Asking the important questions! I work with 3 and they’re all spelled differently…
