New Yorkers, Want Your Kid to Be a Super Bowl Champ? Here’s the Name to Pick!

So let's look to the future, especially if you are an expectant parent in New York. If you've ever thought about your young one hoisting that shiny Vince Lombardi trophy as a future NFL star, apparently it starts with their name.

According to research by sports predictions site FlashPicks, it turns out that the name Mike is the golden ticket to Super Bowl success. 58 Mikes have emerged victorious from the big game, making it the number one name for Super Bowl winners.

Mike isn't just dominating the Super Bowl; it's also the second most common name in the entire NFL. There have been more quarterbacks named Mike than any other name out there. So, if you want your little one to be throwing touchdowns in the NFL, you might start with the name Mike.

Mike might bring home the SB trophy but John takes the crown as the most common name in NFL history, with 640 players having that first name. Looking for a third option? Nick is holding it down as the most popular name among currently active players.

The study even looked at possible baby names if power couple Taylor Swift and NFL pro Travis Kelce decide to have kids of their own. Can you imagine little Taylors and Travises (or Taylors?) taking the NFL by storm one day?

If you want to give your kid a head start on their journey to Super Bowl glory, Mike might just be the winning name to pick. Who knows, with a little luck and a lot of talent, your little one could be lifting that Lombardi trophy before you know it.
