If your name is Kyle, a festival in Kyle, Texas, has your name all over it. The city needs 2,326 people named Kyle to break the world record for the largest same-name gathering.
Over a thousand people named Kyle gathered in Kyle, Texas last year to break the world record for the largest same-name gathering.“What better excuse to meet other people with the best first name in the world,” said Kyle Lawrence.
Last year, Kyles from 49 states gathered in Kyle and totaled 1,490. It's the closest the city has come to breaking the record, but the group stillLawrence said he’s excited to see Kyles from all walks of life. He also hopes to see if some stereotypes hold up. Growing up, Lawrence rarely got picked on for his name. He said it couldn't really be spun into a nickname and wasn't long enough to mispronounce, so it often went unnoticed. The name goes so under the radar, he said, that he’s never met a successful person named Kyle.
“I’m definitely interested in making friends and just seeing what kind of trouble we can all get into,” he said. “I hope the local authorities are on standby.”The Gathering of the Kyles is part of the city’s Kyle Fair, including a carnival, live music and several competitions for the best margaritas, fajitas and ribs. Rachel Sonnier, communications director for the City of Kyle, said last year's event was larger than they expected. They even had international Kyles show up.
“They looked like they were always having fun, even when they were just waiting for the drone to take a photo for five minutes,” she said. “They’re a fun group of people, a good time.”
