Name Game

"Boys in the United States with common names like Michael and David are less likely to commit crimes than those named Ernest or Ivan." (Full Article)

Good news for all the David's in our life, and our uncle Michael Jackson, but yeaaah...I'm concerned about my dad, Elmwood. And what about Evan? And what about my friend's brother whose name is David Michael Ernie? Can the two former good names redeem the latter? Is there any hope?

I guess that's good news.

Don't get me wring, I love research, but seriously, don't these people have anything better to do?

Yikes, I should call Dave! Just another way his three names complicate his already complex life!

Is there any correlation between your name and your ability to spell words, because I can't seem to do that.

Gosh, Dave, stop clogging up my blog with your myriad misspellings. I hope there's no correlation or our boy Davit will be doomed fo sho! =) See you tomorrow!

I too seen that article.

Made me think about the little boy whose parents named him "Adolph Hitler"... Did you read that article? He is around 3 years old or so.

Now I'm sure he won't have any troubles in society...
