Most people choose their children's name very casually.
They pick something they like, often a name that honors a dead relative, a revered historical figure, a character on Beverly Hills 90210, or their favorite endangered waterfowl. Well you'd better think twice if you're in that position, because a name has more to do with how someone turns out than all the genes in their little finger. That's right, your personality, career path, and chances for happiness are all right there in those randomly chosen letters. Think about it. Presidents are named Bill, George, Jimmy, and Dick.
