What's in a name?

Why are we spending grant money on stupid stuff like this?

Boys in the United States with common names like Michael and David are less likely to commit crimes than those named Ernest, Ivan, Kareen, or Malcolm.

Results show that, regardless of race, juveniles with unpopular names are more likely to engage in criminal activity. The least popular names were associated with juvenile delinquency among both blacks and whites.

So in spite of upbringing, education, drug use, environment, abuse, etc...what you name your kid has something to do with future criminal behavior. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. That's as stupid saying Chinese people eat a lot of rice and they have squinty eyes, therefore excessive rice consumption gives rise to slanted eyes.

On the other hand, everbody knows that any girl named Destiny, Bambi, Brandy, or Cheyenne has no choice but to become a stripper.
