Comments such as "xxxxx is a cute name, but could it really work on an adult" and the example given is always "please stand for xxxxxx". I've come to find this interesting, as we assume all parents have such expectations for their children. Has anyone stopped to ask the mother of J'Lara or Maddysonn if they envision them being a lawyer? In all fairness, maybe they believe their child could be a famous musician or something completely different.

If you could predict the future career of your child, what names do you think would best suit them (first and middle names)?? (And no gender bias, both male and female names for each career!)

1. Judge
2. President
3. Rapper
4. Classical musician
5. Builder
6. Teacher
7. Doctor
8. Actor
9. Author
10. Business person

A builder would definitely be a Bob or Jorje! (When I worked for a construction company, those were the most common names)

I don't think Kahlyb or MiKinlee are good names for judges, musicians, layers, kindergarten teachers, strippers, or anyone else.

I personally think a name does not matter that much when it comes to your profession, unless it's really 'cutesy' or really trashy (IMO).
When applying for a job, it might be a disadvantage too have a creative name though. Here we have a district attorney with a name that sounds as if she's a 3 year-old from a fairy tale, but I don't believe it has ever been a problem. I mean, other than that people are like 'What?!' =P
But enough already...

1. Judge: Nathan Lawrence (although...LAWrence...)/ Rosemary Gayle
2. President: Robert Joseph / Leanne Marie
3. Rapper: Jace Brady / DeLaney Kayla
4. Classical musician: Christopher Thomas / Anna Josephine
5. Builder: Josh Danny (yep, just Danny!) / Barbara Joan
6. Teacher: Frank Jonah / Julie Mae
7. Doctor: Simon Daniel / Diane Blair
8. Actor: James London (aka Jamie) / Rosalyn Mia
9. Author: Julius Jefferson / Eleanor Lane
10. Business person: Jack Donovan / Anne Elizabeth
