Agree with this statement about Black people?

What is with the Lemonjello and Orangejello bit? I knew two brothers with those names when I was younger and I always wanted to ask their parents wtf they were thinking naming their kids after jello.

Or-Ron-Juh-Lo & Luh-mon-juh-lo. wib.

Well, I know it's pronounced like that.

But on paper it looks like Lemon Jello and Orange Jello. Come on, now.

It all depends on the type of industry that child will ultimately end up in.

I can tell you that right or wrong there is NO WAY that a child w/a name like that could survive in say, the oil and gas industry.

My sister was heavily criticized by her in-laws for naming her children with non-anglo names. She and my brother-in-law gave their children very old Hungarian names that have no English translation. Will that limit them? I don't believe so. My nephews and niece are PROUD of their Hungarian heritage so in turn, they are already accepting of people with non-mainstream anglo names. Had I balls in my first marriage, I would have done the same.

But then again, there are always ways around it. As a child grows to adulthood, if they feel that they are limited by their first name, then they can always change it. There are MANY immigrants who did just that.

and you're not the first Nefertiti i've met....

 

[nefertiti]

and you're not the first Nefertiti i've met....

You actually met someone named Nefertiti? Well that's not SO bad, being named for an egyptian queen so renouned for her beauty that the name, in fact, roughly translates to "the perfect woman has come."

wow, this is a shallow thread. the name doesnt make the person, the person makes the name

not according to freakenomics
you should read it, good stuff...not pc though

The littlest details are what sometimes seem to be the thing that impacts a person the most when it comes to being hired. I've heard some very crazy reasons as to why a person wasn't hired... not by the person but by the employer.

From being a specific gender, to names, to the preference of music... I shit you not.

check this out bro...in this book the author talked about a girl who was named Temptress...and guess what, she was in trouble for prositution.

just like naming your kid dujuan might hinder, naming a good name might help...the trends in naming are pretty interesting
