I live in the same town as Thumper (see post below). Her dad is my (well, my cat's) veterinarian. Her sibs are Nifty, Dandy, and (i think) Scooter.
I like him as a vet, but I have to be honest about the names they chose for their kids. If I needed a lawyer or a doctor, I wouldn't likely choose one named Nifty or Dandy. I don't know what their professions are, but if they went outside of the area (the family is well-known in town), I wonder how much it would affect their careers?
How about you? Would a person's first name honestly change your opinion about them, despite their abilities?
