Have you met someone named Kindle? Chances are, you will

I know. It's wild. But Americans are increasingly naming their kids after household devices. As of June 2023, the Social Security Administration's database notes 77 Siris, 15 Cortanas and 51 Kindles.

The two to three years following every Kindle release see a rise in babies named after it. In 2011, a year after Kindle for Android was released, 31 newborn girls were named Kindle, the highest in a single year.
