I remember an article I read a few years back for a Sociology project. It was about "old-fashioned" and how they could hinder a person's chance for employment in competitive positions. I'm not talking old-fashioned like 'Mabel' or 'Hazel'...although there was a brief description about those, but the specifically mentioned (and no offense intended to anyone who has these names, I didn't write the article!) Sherry, Connie, and Cheryl...thes are just a few of MANY! The article claimed that the names made employers think of their mothers (housewives) or secretaries from the 70's! I wish I still had it, it was very interesting!
