I firmly believe that names influence a person. When I was growing up, my name was pretty uncommon - not weird, just uncommon. Now, every third little girl has the same name, and it makes me crazy!! Having such a name as a child and knowing that it was an old family name made me feel somewhat special.

My roomie married a guy with an uber Irish surname, and her kids all have Irish names: Kelly, Kevin, Katie, Molly, and Ryan. As much as they're so Irish, it DOES sound better than say, Stanlislaw O'Toole!
