The name of Leo, between the 11 more chosen in Catalonia

It is evident that Leo Messi raises passions in Barcelona and that his arrival and irruption in the Barcelona club have changed a lot the things -no longer only by the titles, also by the influence in the society-. So much it is so in a report published today by the Institute of Statistics of Catalonia sees that the name of 'Leo' is already the 11º more used in Catalonia. 

Above Leo, the Catalans opt by Marc, Alex, Jan, Martí, etc, but the one of Leo follows escalando positions thanks to the formidable emotional impact that the figure of the crack Barcelona has between the population. Of this report has done echo the 'Chain Be'. Eye because in 2004 the name of Leo was in the position 262 of all the boys that were born this year.

The evolution in this ranking has gone growing to measure that the footballer shined in the first team. In 2005 I Read already it was in the position 183 between the recently born. Now, in 2016, already they are 12 of each 1000 the babies that received the name of the crack Argentinian. With everything, of a year for another, of 2015 to 2016, the number of "Leos" recently been born has fallen 4% although it also is true that in general fell in Catalonia the births of 2,6%.

We imagine that in the next years this figure still will improve, more still when Messi withdraw and the parents want to surrender him homage of this way, putting him 'Leo' to his respective children.
