[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Facebook moms group is all I need to know. Who is in this group? Rural, uneducated moms? Scientists, doctors, lawyers aren't in these groups. [/quote]
I would argue that there are way more lower class and undereducated individuals than there are wealthy and highly educated individuals. Lower class and undereducated parents also tend to have way more kids (on average). The 1-2 (3 at most) kids that scientists, doctors, and lawyers have will not make up for the 5+ kids that are being born to lower class, undereducated parents every single day. I think you're underestimating how common these types of names are going to be among the next generation.[/quote]

what? it sounds like we're saying the same thing but you're adding in the number of kids people have, which is irrelevant.[/quote]

DP but this PPs point is that whatever names lower class and less educated people use are likely to become more generally prevalent because it's a larger population and they have more kids. So while wealthy, educated parents are naming their kids James and Catherine, they will be outnumbered by people who name their kids Jarvis and Caitlynne or whatever.[/quote]
