There was a study relesed recently that strongly indicated "made up" names doom people to low-paying jobs and low expectations. Wish I could find it. I always wonder why people saddle their kids with names like "Krymzen" or "Shaniqua".

I picked "Joseph Paul" for my little guy. Classic.

I like it. Masuline, a name that deserves respect. I named my boy "Jonothan Ezra". "Jonothan" is a gallic spelling, and Ezra is a really cool name that you just don't see much anymore (my great uncle was named Ezra).

That is probably true about those with made up names destined for dead end jobs.Yet only temperarily since in the not too distant future Shaniqua will not hesitate to hire Shawana.
