This is a deep discussion and it makes a lot of sense. It is good to know that I am not the only one that thinks a child should have a name that will reflect upon him as an adult. I have an 8 month old son and I named him Marquel (pronounce the q as if it was a K) and I thought about how it would sound calling him this as a grown man. I didn't want to give him a silly name just because I thought it was cute for someone his age. I hope I gave him a name that people will not discriminate him for having. But I must agree with SoloRHO. No one should have to worry about whether or not their name will keep them from getting the job they want, or helping them to get far in life. However, parents do need to put a little thought into a child's name and stop naming them after alcholic drinks, or coming up with names that make no sense at all.
