LOL, funny thought. I love the name you've chosen, stick with it! Although I have pondered and written about how our names effect us growing up. At first I hated mine because people would sing "Let's get physical" to me ALL the time, and others would ask me where Popeye was (stupid dummies). But then I enjoyed being the only one w/my name out of the whole school. So it's a tough choice, but he can always change it if he wants.
Would it be adding to your anxiety to tell you that studies also show that boys with unusual names are less "successful" in life. (collage, jobs etc) I find it interesting that the same is not true for girls. I would also be interested in seeing a repeat of both these studies in 15 years, as unusual names are becoming increasing common ( I believe that is an oxymoron but you know what I mean.)

Funny study. I can think of plenty of bad criminals with popular names!
Were you going to name him Kareem? :-)
