Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow tops the list of sports hero baby names among Ohio parents

CLEVELAND, Ohio– Ohio parents say that Joe Burrow tops the list of sports stars they want to name their children after, according to a recent poll.

The study was conducted by, BounsFinder, an online casino review portal.

BonusFinder gathered votes from over 1,000 Ohio residents, who shared their thoughts on a variety of sports topics, including the sports entertainer they would most likely name their next child after, according to a recent press release.

The former Heisman Trophy winner secured nearly 11 percent of the state’s vote, with Ohio sporting royalty Lebron James and the Golden State Warrior’s Stephen Curry following right behind him with 10 percent.

“A new lineage of “Joe’s” looks likely with the QBs name most popular with 11 percent of the state, followed by Akron’s LeBron James and Steph Curry tied with 10 percent of Buckeyes respondents saying they would name their child after the Ohio ballers,” the release said.

Other notable Cleveland sports stars included Browns’ linebacker Myles Garrett and the Cavs’ Kevin Love, who completed the top five with 9 percent and 8 percent of the vote, respectively.

Bengals’ wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase came in sixth place, with 5 percent.

“LeBron James’ impact on Ohio sports is huge and incredibly far-reaching, as we can see from the results, and it looks like his legacy for future Ohioans could be more than just picking up a basketball,” said BonusFinder’s managing director, Fintan Costello, in a recent statement. “But with new, up-and-coming greats on the scene like Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Myles Garrett, there’s a fresh batch of stars impacting the future names of Ohioans.”
