Your name is everything; it says who you are, what you have accomplished, and even where you are going. Now we have all heard weird names and wonder why in the world would the parents of those kids give them such weird names? They are going to be stuck with that weird name for the rest of their lives.
One of the most common places we see weird names is in the world of sports because they have their names on the backs of their jerseys. After a little research I found a few weird names on the backs of jerseys. Prince King, John Smith, and Tim Tribow, are just a few of the weird names John Smith is a weird name because Smith is the most common last name in the U.S. and John is the most common first name in the U.S. So basically he is the most common person in the U.S.A.
These are but a few names I found and I am sure that there are many more. I also looked up the main causes for names of children and if your name affects your success later in life. The main factor for you when naming your child is what ethnicity you are.
Many studies I found said mainly the same thing and that is that your name has almost nothing to do with your success later in life. So no one has an excuse to slack off in school or not do their best just because of their name. But what does affect your success is your reputation which is in many ways more important than you name. Your reputation actually says who you really are while your name is just a name. So make sure you have a good reputation when trying to move up in life.
