Expert Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt knew that Names can tell us a lot about the Person, but does a Name Really Affect the Outcome of a person’s Personal & Professional Success?
Not so much. Their study found that with all else equal between two babies born at the same time, name did not move the needle in terms of economic status later in life. Naming was not destiny.

Just don’t give your kid the middle name “Wayne.”

Its is a true fact that any male with ‘Wayne” as his middle name will be a serial killer.

Add "Lee" and "Ray" to the mix as well.

A middle name of “Bob” probably isn’t the best choice, either.

Sure, like naming your little girl Cat, Vixen, Candy or Cherry won't ruin her life. Or naming your son Gaylord, Elmo, Adolf or Poindexter won't increase his chances of being stuffed into a locker. I've seen a BC proving a poor kid's parents named him Bronco Billy. It's no wonder a guy named Serious Curious served time in prison. Claimed his mama was curious who the daddy was and his birthing caused some serious pain.

No word if he was an “unarmed teen”, but then he's white so it doesn't matter.

My daughter was interested in the Texas Roller Girls league.

Her name was going to be Robyn Banks.
