👋🏽 Hi there,

The last time there were World Cup games in the U.S. was 1994, when Brazil won the championship title.

This might be a long shot, but do you know someone who was named after a football player specifically because of the results of the 1994 World Cup? (They don't have to be named after a Brazilian player.) My editor, who is a major football fan, said that this is a common trend for new parents.

🙏🏼 Thank you so much!
