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.

    Does it not count if there are people with different names mixed in? Surely there are more than 2325 Muhammads at a large congregation in a Muslim majority country. It’s the world’s most common name

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

      Guinness World Records are only recorded because someone pays them to come record it; happenstance records wouldn’t be accounted for.
