Having a name is one of the first levels of critical thinking for oneself...
So are we suppose to become submissive and fit our names under what you describe essential for our names?
I use to know someone who did that, we use to call him overseer or "Massa".

Whoa. People can name their kids anything they want; I certainly don't dispute that. I haven't outlined anything as essential for "your" names. I just pointed out the results of a study about resume screenings; I didn't screen the resumes.
I joke around about naming my kids after characters in Shakespeare, but I think they'd take a lot of extra teasing for it, so I don't think I really would.
So I wonder if you know that giving your child a certain kind of name will close doors for him or her, why would you do that? Is your answer "just because we can"?
