I understand that the names sound funny, but the name is in an indicator of their abilities. So to say a woman named Lisa will do fine coming from a state school, but Alize has to come from Princeton is just wrong. People will judge them for their names and ask them how did the get them, but damn! My name is very comon so I do not and will not have that problem, but I would hate it if I had to graduate from Ivy Leauge twice to even be considered for a job plus have a 4.0 sheesh how many people on GC have 4.0 at the completion of their Bachelors? (don't answer that) This is exactly why if I have children I will stick to mainstream names because I would be pissed if my child got passed up for a job because of their name.
