I think it's fairly true. Not always true, obviously, but true in a lot of cases.
It reminds me of this show I was watching the other day, Pregnant In Heels on the Style channel. If you don't know, the premise is this woman Rosie Pope, who's a "pregnancy concierge" to pregnant Manhattan women (i.e. wealthy people). So many stupid names on there (Bowen Asher, Malibu Taylor, Fox).
My friend was telling me about the Bowen episode. It sounds a bit ridiculous... you can't pick a name so you call in a team of experts? Buy a name book or troll the internet like a normal person lol
They were ridiculous. They wanted a "thought leader's" name, whatever that means, and it couldn't have a S or R, even though one of the names they were considering was Miles. When the focus group agreed with a name they loved, they were all, "Ooh, they're so good." When they hated a name the couple loved, they were all, "They don't know anything!" And one of the others names they were considering was Bode. Not Bowd, but pronounced Bo dee. @_@
ahhhh this kind of stuff drives me crazy! do we really need more shows about rich jerks with too much time on their hands? was Paris Hilton's "My new BFF" not enough?? lol
One of my favourite names is Bodhi but I like to spell it the proper way because I really like the meaning behind it. It makes my head hurt to see stupid people giving their children god-awful names.
