It's like if you name your kid Jeeves, he's going be a butler.
I'm gonna name my frirst kid Kobe and hopefully he'll be good at basketball.

Statistically it's insignificant with high levels of bias, I'd imagine and R-square of approximately 12% and a y predictor = -134.03 +1.3x

x= sluttiness

I don't think it is - as I wrote in my first post, the researchers themselves are not saying names are causative of criminal or any other behaviour. The problem is the journalist trying to create news when there is none.

With names relating to behaviors, we should be looking at correlations we may be able to see.

For example, if you name your child some superlative that is rarely found outside of strip joints, you can assume a few things. Chiefly of all, that the parents could give a flying **** about the outcome of this child.

While names =/= results, they can be a trip wire in diagnosing miserable parenting. We used to say at a camp I worked at that parents thought their kids "**** ice cream." It was our crass way of saying "walk on water."

With males, you tend to find this is middle-of-the-road type names like "Cameron" and anyone trying to drive pronunciation outside of the assumed colloquialisms.

Julian isn't Julian, its szoo-lee-An (like "shoe" without the "H"). There is a strong indicator there that a parent thinks their child is above the fold, removed from the unwashed masses and forever a "good boy."

While we can't draw scientific law from names to actions, we come a lot closer when we look at parenting and its effect on behavior.

which makes me so glad my father got my mom to name me Dave instead of Stefan (not Steven or Stephen but Steff-ahn). even David got it's own twisted pronunciation.

as for behaviour, having a twist on a common name definitely had an effect. far more introverted in school and in public, very defensive, and yeah LOTS of indirect pressure from within the family (direct and extended) unit.

It's not on the list, but Sarah has to be the sluttiest name.

I can vouch for that one.
My ex fiance's name is Sarah. She cheated on me with a mildly-retarded fry cook while I was in Iraq.

Who does that?!?

Sarahs do that.

I'm sorry man, this isn't funny, but it sounds kinda funny.

But to make it up to you, if you need a hit on the fry cook (or sarah) you call me.
