My dad's a teacher and every few years he gets a kid named something like "RepentThySins" or "JesusOurSavior". The worst thing is the parents get upset if he shortens it to something like "Repent".
Parents should NEVER, NEVER perform social experiments using their children, YES that's exactly what this was, I can see it now:Parent: Hey honey wouldn't it be cool if we named our son's Winner & Loser? You Know... Just to see if it mattered...OFCOURSE IT F&*(&#ING MATTERS!! You can name your children whatever you want but their name holds specific feelings and energies, you name a kid Winner he/she's going to grow up thinking - Well I don't have to work for anything, I'm a winner and everything will just work out without any effort at all.... then you name your other son/daughter Loser - so they grow up thinking, wow - why did they name me this way? Am I really a loser? All the kids make fun of me... THANKS MOM & DAD!!!Children are to be loved and taken care of, taught, until it is time for thme to leave the nest.

Reminds me of something I heard on TV - a couple named their son ESPN, to be pronounced "Espen".<a class="user" href="http://www.coastalbendhealth.com/2001/april/04/today/localspo/22172.html">http://www.coastalbendhealth.com/2001/april/04/today/localspo/22172.html</a>Also, someone with the last name Michelin was paid by Michelin to append 'tire' to their surname. I'm still wondering if this is true or an urban myth.

I know a guy named "Valor" who will try to get into your girlfriend's pants.
