Baby Names.

I am with Germanator on this one. I have a few names I think would be good for a dog. I was thinking Kenji if it was a dog or Enjiki if it was a bitch.

What I want to know is why certain people with certain names always turn out a certain way. Like why are all girls named Bertha fat. Or why are all guys named Richard assholes. Why does every girl named Candy become a stripper? Why does every girl named Amber or Tiffany become a porn star? Is it some complicated self-fulfilling prophecy?

I'm gonna go with the Ebonics approach and name my kid after a car or something. If I have a girl I'm gonna call her Chrysler or Mercedes or maybe Paprika.

I knew a guy named Richard who was not an asshole.

All the a-hole guys named "Richard" that I know are American. Ric, you're not an asshole....so you support Swan's theory that names are region based.

I've noticed that European people are just nicer in general. I love my European friends. I think it's the fact that you guys all started drinking when you were like 16 or younger....

It also seems European women are much more open/promiscuous with their sexuality. Here in the States only the girls named Candy, Tiffany and Amber are hoes.

I was only fooling about. But I appreciate your comments KG

I will say though 'where did that come from?' to Angrist. Ok I am a man, I will admit sometimes I can be a dick, so can everyone. I know we disagree on some points sometimes but we agree on others and dispite those past disagreements I have had with you I would not call you a dick. So I dont know how better to put the way I interpret what you said than using smileys - but
