[Opinions] Re: Cinnamon
in reply to a message by BookEmDanno
Sure, I think it's silly, but the fact that it was your doctor's name proves it's not unusable. Perhaps the "This name would be a burden, it wouldn't be taken seriously, I need a name that will look good on a resume/job application/business card" sentiment is overblown. The name didn't prevent this woman from becoming a doctor.

The research doesn't show that people with certain names WON'T become doctors, lawyers, presidents, etc. The research shows that people will judge them based on their name. So while you may be able to become a Dr. Cinnamon, its less likely you will receive a position than a Dr. Jane.
