The rest I agree on. Whenever I see names like that I reflexively form an opinion of that person-- "just another brick in the wall. Insipid, uncreative, petulant, ineffective and boring. Limp handshake too, no doubt. Unworthy of my time." More often than not I'm right. I bet I ain't the only one who makes judgments like that, parents...
Sadly, I also agree that I'm not as likely to take a "Dakota" as seriously as I would a "Daniel." I know it ain't right, but there you have it.

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."
