Since we were talking about names earlier, it reminded me of an artile I just read in The Atlantic concerning baby names and their relation to their parents' income and education. Here are the white babies' names associated with the highest and lowest levels of education in their mothers (average years of education in parentheses).
Note the stripper names for girls, and "Ricky" rocking the #1 spot for boys.
| Girls/High | Girls/Low |
|---|---|
|
1. Lucienne (16.60) 2. Marie-Claire (16.50) 3. Glynnis (16.40) 4. Adair (16.36) 5. Meira (16.27) |
1. Angel (11.38) 2. Heaven (11.46) 3. Misty (11.61) 4. Destiny (11.66) 5. Brenda (11.71) |
| Boys/High | Boys/Low |
|
1. Dov (16.50) 2. Akiva (16.42) 3. Sander (16.29) 4. Yannick (16.20) 5. Sacha (16.18) |
1. Ricky (11.55) 2. Joey (11.65) 3. Jessie (11.66) 4. Jimmy (11.66) 5. Billy (11.69) |
What the hell is up with the rich dude names? Did the sample group come form Romania or something? Do they call the magazine The Atlantic because it's something they'll never see in landlocked Estonia? If I ever meet a dude named YannickI'm kicking his ass, especially since he'd probably be driving an M3 and wearing Dolce and Gabanna too. Fag.
Good work representing trailer parks and public housing all around the world Nelson. They should be happy to know you drink all the beer they can't afford. You know, on behalf of Rickys everywhere.
I have never met, to my knowledge, a chick named anything off the rich list. I need to meet more rich chicks.

Interactive baby name vs. time dealie is cool if you're really into looking up stupid names.
