Baby Naming perception and opinion?
I, for one, am fully aware that most of the names we now consider "clic" or "traditional" have been adapted over time. That said, I would be fine with naming my kid "Colin," as opposed to "Coilin," which is the traditional Irish spelling; however, I would never allow any child of mine to be called something like "Cuhssandruh" instead of "Candra." The former spelling would make me look like an illiterate moron, and people would ume my child is just as moronic. Studies have actually been done on this issue, and we know for sure that the less WASPy the name, the poorer the perception of the child. Would you rather hire Charlotte or Sharllit? Would you rather date Geoffrey or Jeffuhree? As much as we want to believe the world is free from prejudice, it's not, and that fact is reflected in how we perceive names.
