Have you ever noticed some
of the odd names parents are going with these days? Do you think it might be
setting them up for failure? Sure, “Barak” is not exactly main stream, but it
is an ethnic name well represented in other nations. I’m thinking more of the
“made up” names like “Amfernee” and “Astrolia” or the ones that are named after
other nouns like “Apple” of “Pinecone.”
Please understand, I’m not trying to
make fun of people’s names, but I’ve noticed some odd ones among my students over
the years it seems like the ones with really odd names usually have the most
trouble in class. Is it just me?
