How about Cold Waters, Rusty Waters, Muddy Waters, Sandy Waters,Falling
Waters, Boiling Waters?>>
Enough already!
Crystal, think I beg you before you inexorably warp the entire life of your
poor unborn child.
I read lately that research has shown that names influence many things.
Career for instance. From the `allitirative affect` there are more dentists
named `Dennis` and more lawyers called `Laura` than statistically there
should be and likewise more shops selling sea shells are owned by Sheryls
and Cheryls.
There are more women named Georgia, in Georgia and more men named Louis in
Louisiana..
Those with initials at the beginning of the alphabet are more likely to work
in prestigious university departments or ne Nobel winners.
Unusual spelling such as `Ashlee` instead of `Ashley` should be avoided.
Children who have common names that are traditionally spelt learn `spelling
and grammar` faster. The name is one of the first words we learn and if
teachers etc. constantly have to ask if they are spelling the name correctly
it causes loss of confidence in spelling ability.
A third of teachers claimed that they could spot trouble in names like
Callum or Chardonnay or Crystal.
A study in 1960 found that those with unusual names were more likely to be
diagnosed as psychotic and boys with the least popular names are more likely
to commit crime.
Remember the poor girl who was named `Talula does the Hula from Hawaii`.
She has now changed it by deed poll.
I remember hearing a mother during the war calling to her child `Come here,
Bardia`. Bardia was a town at which there was a battle in the North African
Campaign and the name was topical then and maybe had family connection.
Even as a kid I pitied that poor child going through life explaining why she
was called `Bardia`
One last thing. People with surnames at the end of the alphabet are less
likely to be succesful than those with surnames at the beginning.
I would rate `Crystal` as an oddish name.( nice but oddish) so that
combined with your surnames position in the alphabet, you should ,
statistically and from the career point of view be dead in the Water(s)
Cheers and a Merry Christmas
Pat (who reads too much rubbish)
