Ha, my wife’s last name is fisher, her nephew is named hunter, but unfortunately her sister married a guy with the last name of Gordon.
Technically Hunter Fisher Gordon, even he was a hyphen baby.

CPD SIG https://www.litcharts.com/lit/...-name-smell-as-sweet"Feeakonomics" is a pretty interesting study/book/documentary.
There's a chapter dedicated to just "names". It pretty much sums up what we're all thinking.
Chances are- if you have a "normal" name, you'll do pretty good in life. This is not to say that there aren't "Mikes, Joes, Toms" in prison or the unemployment line. And yes, the more "U-niq" your name is, chances are they're going to be behind the power curve. Again, this is not to say that there isn't some CEO of a Fortune 500 with a "La-Fumunda", but that's usually the outlier.
There's also a small blurb in there about people on the lower rungs of society thinking that having/giving a more "Eu'nique" name will somehow make one stand out for the better and "hopefully" climb up that ladder, but often times not.
For those of you that TL/DR- "U'Nki" often times results in "Eunuch".

V-TailI had to get a police officer to accompany me to La'Qwanda's house to retrieve one of our carpet cleaners, that had been rented from an Ace Hardware Store for one day, and had not been returned after a week and a half.
It was pretty clear, from the way that they interacted, that this was not, by any means, the first time that the cop had responded to that address to handle a problem.

feersum dreadnaughtI was all for naming my first daughter “Siobhan” - got talked out of it by family that pointed out nobody could pronounce it, and if they could pronounce it, they wouldn’t be able to spell it.
Would have been all trendy now.
Second daughter is Wen Xiao - but we call her Wendy. As she is from Hunan, it should be obvious when somebody looks at her...
