“If anybody can explain to me where they come up with these names I’d be forever greatful. SMH”
I tried to look up an answer to your question, but the first two articles were along the lines of, suck it up, you are racist. When I was hiring people, I read a few articles on finding good candidates. One study floated a large number of duplicate fake candidates for jobs. Same resumes but different names. So, you’d get a resume from Jack Hardy or Tanakaj Jones. The results were exactly what you’d think. The non-black sounding names got significantly more positive response than the ridiculous names. Parents who name their children ridiculous names are handicapping them for life.
Our HR director had a privately funded study on how to minimize the risk of hiring a new employee. This was based on studying employee lawsuits. I don’t recall all of the recommendations but in short, don’t hire a Democrat. Don’t hire someone the government provides a free lawyer to. There were several others don’t based on lawsuits, but I can’t recall them. I want to say weird nonstandard names was on the list, but I can’t be sure.

Don’t hire a person with a scorpion neck tatoo might be one. 😏
