The studies have been largely centred around "African-American" names, but they clearly indicated that, for example, a woman named Jennifer was far more likely to be chosen for an interview than a woman named Laquashanda. It's not nice but people *do* judge.But that wasn't actually Tor's point. Honeysuckle is a ridiculous name that sounds like a baby's nickname no matter what profession you put it next to.
