This is in Off-Topic because it's not about expecting. Fox5 morning so-called news just listed the "five most powerful male names." Here is the list. Unreal they think these are powerful names.
Robert Michael James John Christopher Really? These are the names of dentists. I guess Michael could own his own landscaping company and Christopher would make a good glass artist at Glen Echo. Certainly not powerful names. Fox5 "news" tends to suddenly turn from news into a Starbucks filled with shrieking teen girls -- which is when you have to change the channel if you've already graduated from high school -- and this is one of those "news" stories apparently. Give me a good paragraph or two about your most powerful males with these names. Fiction preferred (obviously). |

I don't think shrieking teen girls would pick those names. They are solid, traditional, masculine names. But when I saw your title I was expecting names more like "Rex" or "Troy." |

They are names of Anglophile Judeochristian American people, the kind who lead businesses and governments. The news report was probably also biased by popularity of the name, not conditional probability of power given the name.
More importantly, why did you feel the need to share this bit complete idiocy with more people? Michael Bloomberg is a billionaire. James "Jamie" Dimon is a billionaire John Roberts is the Chief Justice of SCOTUS |

Solid, traditional, masculine (and outdated) yes,but powerful, no. Rex and Troy grew up, predictably, with old money -- and some WWII skeletons in their family closet. The stuffy paintings on the walls of the great room were not actually of their ancestors, something Rex found this out when he took one to the appraiser, once his own inheritance was running low. He wasn't sure he should share the news with Troy who had been an emotionally sensitive child who still lived in the upstairs nanny's quarters. THEN??? |

Troy's first wife had had no filter. She chattered on and on about literally anything that crossed her mind, while everyone else at table quietly sipped on -- sipped -- slurped their soup from the oversized silver soup spoons that had made it from Germany, and had the intials MJJ engraved on the handles. Once when one of the grandkids had asked who MJJ was, Troy's wife had ratched up the conversation to a fever pitch, talking about some dumb story she's seen on the news, thus successfully changing the story. Why was it always left to her to keep this family humming along and the secrets safe, she thought for the milliionth time. |

Most powerful male names are:
Judge, Major, & Bubba (although the last one is regional). |

| Four brothers: Peter, Rod, Dick, and Willie. The Johnson family. Obviously. |

LOL Those are the names of my grandfather's hound dog. They used to sit on the porch with him in the summer heat, their tongues handing out as they panted, then move to under the porch when the sun became too unbearable. No one could ever get grandpa to go inside,where it was dark and cool with the AC in the window blasting -- or get him to wear anything but a button down flannel shirt. One day he had taken off the flannel and was sitting there in his tshirt, and we knew something was wrong. |

No, no. The list is wrong.
The most powerful three are: Henry Alexander and Leo |

Henry is an architecture major who gets too flustered on dates to actually do anything, Alexander is into theater and Leo is a poet. So no. |

The REAL list begins with:
Lance Asher Rod Hunter Zane Colton Ryder, and Chad |

Elon was the weird kid in school. He looked like his mother, but on him her beauty was stretched and rubbery and as pale as paste, an altogether unattractive smear of a face. He tried to participate with the other kids in fits and starts, and while he was generally accepted and never bullied, he was never one of the in crowed either. He was gawky and uncoordinated and couldn't make it to base during kickball and tended to hang out by himself on the edges of the yard during recess, kicking clods of dirt and examining unearthed stones in his weird clothing, too formal for a child at school. |

Really bad list. Lance is a name for a porno star. Asher--no, just no. I know too many Ashers and they are not powerful individuals. Rod needs no explanation. Hunter is a rich, Southern frat boy. Same for Colton,Ryder, & Chad. Zane ???? |
