It's official. What you name your child does matter! In a recent study, researchers have concluded that students with names that begin in with A and B get better grades than students whose names begin with C and D. Also, that fondness for one's own name will cause a potentially damaging bias toward people, places, or institutions with similar names. For example, Philadelphia attracts a disproportionate number of Philips, Phyllises and the like, and Jacks and Jackies tend to move to Jacksonville in higher-than-exptected numbers.
So I guess Detroit Faulkner is out of the question.
