some parents are just not thinking!!!
Some names are cute for little kids, but these kids do grow up to be old people. It's not nice to say, but in the corporate world (especially in sales and marketing) your first impression can make or break you. And if a 40 year old woman by the name of Alize', Peaches, or Shay Shay is applying for a position, she can (and often times is) discriminated against simply because of her name!
For companies that are highly competitive in regards to recruitment, they receive tons of resumes and they throw sooooo many out just by their look. If IT doesnt look professional, or YOU dont sound professional, you can forget it.
BTW---I really like those ambiguous names like Tyler, Taylor, Carson, Erin.......dont know why!
