The name game. So one's moniker can play a role in determining one's success in life, but what I wonder is, Do the statistics change with the times?
My guess is that what people think of a certain name has something to do with their perception of the person whose name it is ~ and therefore with the way they treat that person. But society's taste in names changes over time. For example, there was a time when "Bertha" was popular, and there may be again. Did Berthas back then lead more fulfilled lives than a Bertha would now? http://hotword.dictionary.com/names/?rh=www.ask.com&__utma=1.1652408032.1304627796.1309158572.1309201081.20&__utmb=1.1.10.1309201081&__utmc=1&__utmx=-&__utmz=1.1307493402.14.5.utmcsr=dictionary.reference.com|utmccn=%28referral%29|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/&__utmv=-&__utmk=38203555
