basically its a study someone did about your name and if it can make you a criminal. Interesting read, was wondering what you all thought :)
Its titles "CanYour Name Make You a Criminial" by John Cloud.

I think it's more likely that lower class/poorly educated people give their children more unique names than middle/upper class, better educated people. Their socioeconomic status probably makes them more likely to be criminals, rather than their names. s2s.

Yeah, I second this. Your parents give you your name, your family background might predict criminal behavior.
