What do you think of new Guinness Record... 178 people with same name in the same place?

[AviatorTom]

A group of 178 people, all named Hirokazu Tanaka, broke Marth Stewart's record (164 people) for the largest group of people in the same place with the same name. Guinness certified it as being a new World Record.

Hirokazu Tanakas set world record for meeting of people with same name

What do think of this?

Let's see... How about here in the US, "Robert Williams"...

I remember about ten years back there was a guy with a "not" common name. But he found like thirty other people in the US with the same name and got most of them to meet up for like a mini convention. It was an interesting story.

I have easily tutored at least 600 kids named Juan García...

not all at the same time, though

[purplepoppy]

I wonder how often this occurs naturally in countries where certain names are very common. On a Chinese train we can assume a lot of Wongs but how many will also have the first name as well.

[AmandaYVR]

Wow that's funny. Kind of makes them seem like a generic group with no individuality. Interesting.

[Amy10223]

I think it must be a very common name in Japan.

[Red-Blaze]

Its silly
I can say hands down Meca breaks it for sure with Mochmad something

[exitseven]

It must be weird to have so many people who have been named the same as you There are not many people who have my name.

[LovingJo]

😂 Will they do anything now, to get in the book? 🤔😂

[Zolly99999]

Imagine calling out " hey hirokazu "

🤣🤣🤣

Everyone's head turning at the same time.

[BlackElph]

That's pretty cool actually. I wanna break the record now

[MikeInHawaii]

John Smiths could smash this!

[AviatorTom]

The hard part is getting them all in the same place at the same time

[MikeInHawaii]

It’s easier than rounding up 179 people named Exavier Quackenbush!

[BlueScorpio]

We're running out of names lol

[MikeInHawaii]

We’ve actually gotten better. In the 1960’s, 22% of the boys born in the United States were named Michael, James, John, Robert or William.

[Wise4myage]

Its getting more stupid by the year.

[boobliker]

it better than some things in that book?

[MadClown]

Lame to be honest.

[AndrésC64]

Dumb. Who cares?

[BLP11520]
