Does a kid do better with a "good" name or a "bad" name?

[Lemmingwise]

How important is your name to success?

I was listening to this song

Right as I read this post:

It made me wonder. Is there any significant effect to what name you have in life? Does a name do you good or bad or is it just a meaningless placeholder?

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Lol, fucking Reddit.
What a cunt.
What good mother intentionally gives her child a disadvantage?
Reminds me of this song:

 

[ClipBitch]

I don't know if this is what you're talking about or not, but ever since I went to school with 6+ people named Craig, all of which were stereotypical nerds, I've been unusually aware of how names generally seem to pigeon hole people into roles. Every Duke I've known was a jock, the Justins assholes, Nates druggies, etc.

 

[Fascist Frederick]

Statistically speaking I'm sure there are more successful Georges than Jamals. Maybe that means something...

Names have more power than modern people give them credit for.

That said, I'm going to say this is a mixed feeling sort of situation. On the one hand, Adolph is a perfectly good name with a horrible stigma attached to it. That stigma needs to go away because there have likely been an uncountable number of good men named Adolph, and one historical nightmare should not forever tar them.

On the other, I hope this bitch gets beaten to death slowly with a bat due only to the reason as to WHY she is naming the child Adolph. Because she wants to be the queen of Heaven at her sons expense.

I can't imagine where she might have picked up that sort vainglorious mentality.

It's not like the idea that the only way one can be worthy of being loved as a man is to be crucified is somehow engrained in our society, and to be the epitome of worthiness as a woman is to be the mother of he who is sacrificed for the benefit of others.

Yeah that song is what I was listening to, see link in OP

Although at least she is assuming her son is cis? So small progress for redfit mothers?

 

[Massively Strong Greed]

Just don't give your kid a stupid fucking name. Don't be like that idiot on Reddit who got someone to name their kid Zacian.

In the great book Freakonomics, Levitt and Dubner have a chapter about this:
"A Roshonda by any Other Name" which explains this whole thing in great detail.
Basically niggers with nignames do way worse in life than niggers with normal names.
White people with names that were once "rich names" but were then taken by the poor (and often changed a bit) do worse than others. For example, you'd expect a Britnie to be a holler hootin' hillbilly, and you'd never wanna hire a Jaxxon.

My dad named me after a conqueror and so far I haven't conquered any lands. 0/10 shit theory

 

[Miss Misery]

I mean I guess it depends on the sort of name you're given and what the name implies...

A chad named Eugene is still a chad.

But is it because of the nignames or because the Carltons of this world have both a different environment growing up and are likely to have different gened passed to them?

There's a story of a black family in NYC with two sons. One was named Winner. The other was named Loser. Loser, or "Lou" as he went by, led a successful life. He worked hard, joined the NYPD, got married and had a family, and retired as a police sergeant. He was a great, upstanding member of his community.

Winner, or "Winnie" as he went by, was the neighborhood drunk. In and out of jail all his life, illegitimate kids, all that shit. He never made anything of himself and lived a miserable existance mostly on welfare.

Assuming this is for real, go ahead and name your kid Adolph. Set your kid up for a lifetime of ridicule, social ostracism, loss of job opportunities, and possible mental health problems.
I'm sure none of this is going to bite you in the ass in a few decades when little Adolph is choosing your nursing home.

Why not all three (or more)? It's not like the world, nor the human condition are two-dimensional states of being. The interplay of life, circumstance, cause and effect are pretty complicated. Entropy abstracted, if you will. You can't predict the way the pieces will fall without accounting for all of the other factors in the system.

He could be like Adolf Dassler AKA AdiDas and become a successful businessman though. "Adi" is a cool nickname, isn't it?

Barack Obama knew this. That's why he called himself Barry until well after his career was established.

Over the course of a lifetime, a person with a name that is easy to spell, or with no spelling variations, will probably save many hours of not having to make verbal corrections over the phone or in person when someone else is transcribing or inputting their name. Especially when it's a phone call situation; potentially lots of wasted hours spelling out long and difficult names, having to go back and repeat letters when the phone connection is bad, etc

 

[awoo]

Adolph will grow up to be based and know the truth about the little hat tribe.

At the time book was written, the most common nigger name was Kevin. I doubt all of them weree Carletons. But yes i'd agree that the pavement ape names come from the 70's black power /africanising movement, and parents who identify with that would be resentful, criminal pieces of shit.
