How Does Our Name End Up Affecting Our Lives?

I happened upon these two book excerpts that I thought were really interesting. They discuss naming trends among the social classes and and how one's name affects the way he/she is perceived by others.

"Trading Up: Where Do Baby Names Come From?"

"A Roshanda by Any Other Name"

Anyone care to discuss?
