Barack Obama's new fashion has arrived in the whole world.The BBC news reported this morning that more than half of the babies born in a Kisumu Hospital on the day after the election were named either Barack or Michelle Obama.
Apparently Kisumu is close to the village where Mr Obama's father was born and raised and Mr Obama is a local hero.
The region erupted in celebration after he won the race for the White House.
Out of 15 babies born in the New Nyanza Provincial Hospital in the western city of Kisumu on Wednesday, five boys were named Barack Obama and three girls were called Michelle.
Pamela Adhiambo, who gave birth to twins – a boy and a girl - on the night after the elections, named them Barack and Michelle Obama.
"I made up my mind to name them long before the elections, and even if Obama had not won, I would still have done the same," she said.
Hopefully, the names will inspire them to become great human beings willing making a change in their communities for the best.
I wouldn't be surprised if that happened in my country, Mexico, too.
