Father’s Day will be celebrated in many countries this Sunday, and people around the world will show their appreciation for the dads in their lives, both on and off Facebook. In recognition of all the fathers out there, and those who will be celebrating them, we have put together some interesting dad-related content from Facebook including:

• Facebook data showing some interesting shared interests between fathers and their children
• In spirit of the World Cup, an analysis of how a certain World Cup player influenced the naming of newborns during and after the 1986 World Cup
• An inspiring story of one young woman’s reconnection with her father on Facebook

Shared Interests Between Fathers and Their Children

While fathers and their kids may feel like there is little overlap between their favorite musicians, athletes and movies, we took a look at Likes on Facebook and found that they may have more in common than they thought. This analysis of mutual Likes among self-identified fathers and their children on Facebook as compared with Likes among all people who use Facebook reveals what their shared interests look like across music, athletes, entertainment and more. Only children who are over age 18 in likely father-child relationships were considered.

Here is the full list of shared interests among 1) fathers and children of both genders, 2) fathers and their daughters, and 3) fathers and their sons:

Maradona’s (Other) Legacy

With the first World Cup match starting today, millions of people around the world will be participating in the conversation about their favorite teams and players. One player, Diego Maradona, remains relevant in soccer history and interestingly, in the names of many young men who were born during and after the historic matches he played in nearly 30 years ago, according to an analysis by the Facebook Data Science team. Towards the end of the World Cup in 1986, there was a 260% increase of babies named Diego in Argentina, and 1 out of 3 Diegos born in Brazil between June 1986 and 1987 were named after Maradona. You can find the full note here.
