That's not even his real name... he was born "Richard Starkey".

PS - I've met a monkey named Ringo!

Okay, so I was all ready to be bitter about my scores, but it seems that it's nearly impossible to ace this unless you're the author. Plus it's an easy name, I didn't have the pronunciation issue, but I did get, "is it short for Joyce?" all the time!

Here's what I got though:
The Adventure-Seeking, Impatient, Enthusiastic Freedom-Lover

Health: C
Financial Potential: B-
Professional/Job Success: B+
Relationship/Compatibility: C-
Charisma/Sex Appeal: B+
Communication Ability: B+
The influence is primarily masculine whether this name is used for a female or male.

Others who share this first name vibration include Emma Thompson, Johnny Cash and Macaulay Culkin.

Does ANYONE know a man named Joy? Also, I love how she suggests name therapy as an option to "fix problems." My favorite: The child struggling in school with hyperactivity and a lack of focus using "Kevin," rather than the more grounded spelling of "Kevan." OHHHH! So THAT'S why we have behavior problems in schools! The names aren't grounded!! (Sorry to the Kevin's out there; I'm sure you're all terrific...the example just amused me.)

LMAO.. my sister just started dating a "Kevin"!

(And I've never met anyone named "Kevan".)

I have one of the most common names ever, at least in my experiences...Amy. I mean, really, I'm sure you all know at least one. Only thing that's different about me is that MOST of the Amys I've known were actually Amandas or Amelias or something of that nature....

Although, "Amy" is one the top 20 Whitest Girl Names list...

I do too, as a girl's name.

Anyhoo, I have a low end white girl name and one of the whitest girl names???? (As if I didn't know that - but I didn't know it was "low end"

). But the real question is - where's my load of the loot?

ETA: I think I get interviews because I know how to write a resume. The only interviews that I get because of the name are from sleaze balls (yep - had a couple of those). Nice to see the look on their faces.
