Do names impact behavior?

This. The question is what type of people would choose those names.

For example, I’d be willing to bet money that black people with classical names do better in life than the ones with the “unique” spelling names, despite them both having the same skin, because it shows the attitudes of the parents and how the kids are growing up.

You have no idea the magnitude of discrimination and the ignorance that comes with being melanated, let alone, having a uniquely spelled name but still we rise. Your hate will never stop this glow, not in a million years, it actually makes it brighter. We are flattered that you are constantly thinking about us though.🥰

There are way too many black teens who are not rising so don’t be trying to sound like MLK. There are also too many white mothers who seem to make no effort at all to get their kids out of public housing. Names like Misty, Tiffani, Destinee, Khrystal are labeling their girls unfairly as not capable women.

There have been studies where similar resumes were sent in to try and get an interview. Names like Starleisha, Princess, Shaquaniska, were passed by in favor of classic black names like Renee, Amara, Gabriella, Zora, Nia. With white applicants, resumes with names like Mercedes, Braylee, Ennslyee, Novalee will not be taken as serious as resumes with classic names like Emma, Emily, Alex, Olivia.

It might not be fair but that’s the way it is.

Freakonomics, right, but you forgot what happens next. Traditional names received more interviews, but were hired at the same rate as the applicants with nontraditional names. In other words, traditional names didn't impart an advantage. Someone who is racist when they look at resumes will also be racist in hiring after the interview.

Yup. Same with your average professional white family vs. someone with a white trash name.

If they’re throwing Shaquaniska’s resume in the trash they aren’t all getting a fair shake.

According to the data, they're not getting a fair shake either way.

Wonder what Ketanji Brown Jackson would have to say about your opinion.

Where are you from OP? Joshuas that I grew up around were nice, normal boys. 90% of them were Jewish.

Speaking of ignorance, everyone is melanated.

Freakanomics has a really interesting chapter on names. Parents who named their kid Amcher after the Albany Medical Center from seeing it on a hospital sign as the mother was wheeled in. How well will a child be raised if his parents did not even bother to pick a name? A never do well dad who thought it would be funny to name one son Winner and the other Loser. Winner became a career criminal and Loser went by Lou and became a police offer.
