Though the Dodgers are forever embedded in baseball history, some parents are making extra certain they also prevail in the future — by naming their children after the Boys in Blue.
“Bout 250 Mexican kids in 10 years gonna have to explain why they named Shohei Rodriguez,” one viral post on X quipped after Shohei Ohtani hit three home runs, pitched six shutout innings and struck out 10 Brewers in the NLCS-clinching game. The prediction may not be so far off: Nameberry, the world’s largest baby naming site, saw a 1,000% increase in searches on the name Shohei just this week.
