Is there any evidence of a link between one's given name and what they eventually do or thier general appearance? eg. Johnny Unitas--NFL quarterback. Roman Gabriel --the same. Pee wee Dinkledorf, no chance. Rocky Hammerfist-- Chess Club? Math Team? I don't think so. I knew a Dougie Cludzinski. Not the Capt of the football team, that was Brad Stone (really) Also knew Vance Du Ravasche, gay, wore a dickie. Anyone know a guy from the South Bronx named Percy Von Chittersby III??, a hot dog vendor with Hunter Witherspoon as a handle? How about a homecoming queen named Edna Schnitzberg? Never happen, gang. So, we seem to be doomed to the fates our names foreshadow. My real name is Troy Thunderheart, what's yours?

NOW we're getting somewhere. My friend in Idaho named his boys Richard and Robert. His name is Ron Hedd, swear to God. Wonder which nicknames THEY use?

You're on to something, Troy Thunderheart. Must've been the reason John Wayne changed his name from Marion, Rock Hudson from Roy Harold and Bob Hope from Leslie and this is not even getting into the thousands of starlets who became someone else on screen.

my religion believes that parents have a kind of divine inspiration when choosing a name for their child. whether the name has a meaning, connects the person to someone he or she was named for, or to someone who shares that name, or any other significance that may or may not be known, names are important and do in some way reflect some aspect of the individual.
