Do people actually decide who to take seriously based on their name?

I've worked with people who have first names I would never consider giving to a child. I've worked with people where I thought "WTF were your parents thinking?" But I decide whether to take someone seriously based on their performance, not their name.

+1. If you don't take someone seriously because of a name over which they have absolutely no control, then you're a sh!t person. Period.


It’s a reality of life, and you are stupid to pretend it doesn’t exist.

Yes, like pageant little girl names from Toddlers and Tiaras.

If I had a name like Brooklyn I would absolutely shorten it to Brooke as an adult and I would never actually go by it. Ever. So yeah, there is some control.

I can think of a couple dozen "b names" I would have used before Brooklyn.

I think it's a Beckham effect. The following three names have been getting popular because of them:

Beckham
Brooklyn
Harper

I was about to type the same thing!! Are you really going to criticize Max Scherzer OP. Mad Max? Have you seen his angry face? Do you want him to leave DC over mistreatment by fans?

Max- we apologize for the criticism. You are pitching as we speak and kicking ass as always. This poster is old, boring and confused.
