Pamela Satran Quotations

Now there are thousands of people with those names that wouldn't exist if it hadn't been for them. This generation of parents is looking to get away from cookie-cutter stuff, and our culture of celebrities is supporting that.

Every conventional naming book gives the guideline, 'Don't forget to look at the initials,' ... Even if the second study contradicts the first, and having bad initials is not going to shorten your life span, it could make what there is of your life less pleasant. And who wants to foist that on innocent children?

It's the confluence of exposure and the name being unusual, attractive and a bit different.
