OK so I heard an interview on the radio about choosing names. Basically the most popular 5 (i think that's right) names in the 60s & 70s were given to about 60% of kids. Now the most popular names are given to less than 10% each year.

So these guys researched how kids with unusual names turned out as adults. The found a correlation between unusual - hard to pronounce, spell or just unusual - names and depression as adults and suicide. They also found that people with the most common (boring!) names typically earnt more than those with unusual names.

So two good reasons to choose more mainstream names in my book.
