80 Olympic-Inspired Baby Names Worthy of Your Little Champion
It's hard not be blown away by the sheer talent and determination displayed throughout the Olympics. And as each athlete gives it their all, it can be tempting to consider them as a possible role model — and namesake — for your unborn child.
With the immense success of Simone Biles in gymnastics and Simone Manuel in swimming, it wouldn't be surprising if expectant parents-to-be fall for this beautiful name. And although Boomer Phelps wasn't there to compete but instead to watch his dad, Michael, he (and his name!) received extra attention for their medal-worthy cuteness. While Boomer was just a spectator and not an athlete, here are 80 baby names inspired by the talented contenders at the 2016 Summer Olympics that could see a major surge in popularity this year.
