George Foreman has the right idea; he named his sons "George", "George", "George", and "George".

Johannes Sebastian Bach had the same idea. He had seven sons, I think it was, and he named them all Johannes.

There may just be something in a name, because all of J.S. Bach's sons were succesfull musicians and composers.

Actually, JS Bach didn't name his last, and least, son Johannes, perhaps because he ran out of middle names. His last son was named PDQ Bach. PDQ was moderately successfull, perhaps because of the family name, but he was a terrible composer.

PDQ is the writer of such works as "The 1712 Overture", "Prelude to Einstein on the Fritz" and "The Preachers of Crimetheus". Who could ever forget PDQ's opera "Iphigenia in Brooklyn"?
