A Rose by any other name...

There was a story on 20/20 last night about how your name effects how you are perceived by others, even potential employers and spouses.

"There's new research that shows names may even tell us about more than just social background; a name may affect future decisions about marriage and career.

Psychologist Brett Pelham, who has studied hundreds of thousands of names, said they can significantly affect your life, even what profession you enter."

Mr. Pelham, who names his own son Lincoln (go figure), went on to say that statistically speaking, 'you are more likely to be attracted to a person who's first name begins with J and a person who's last name begins with S, especially St.
So I'm thinking, now that my last name doees in fact begin with St I'm already married....what good is that?

Also, why don't I have a job yet?
