Way too associated with Kobe Bryant, not that there's anything wrong with him but this name is just way too associated with one person to work, kinda like Madonna or something.

Please do not use this name. This is now (forever) linked to Kobe Bryant and your child can be made fun of. It’s hard to hear but Kobe Bryant has done awful things and he has committed awful crimes, please don’t name your kid Kobe.
I heartily endorse calling your son after a plate of beef. In fact, why not call your children after an entire menu?I can't think of anything more tasteful ... or tasty!
Kobe, in Japanese, consists of two kanji: "Ko" (_), which means "god" and "Be" (ŒË), which means "door". So, its meaning could be: "door of god", "godly door", "door to god", and other similar interpretations.

Great. You wanted to name your son after a basketball player who got off on some serious rape charges!
