Lisa and Brian and Helen and John and Anne and George

It turns out that your name can say a lot about you. Some dude named Richard Wiseman collected the opinions of 6000 people on names and it turns out that some names are poorly perceived. The Name Experiment came to these conclusions:
Least successful: Lisa and Brian
Least lucky: Helen and John
Least attractive: Ann and George
I think this is silly. What about Burritt or Laksmono or Abundie or Nattapong? What about Pornwadee or Thembisa or Berneatha or Mistymarie? You can't tell me that Rupert is more attractive than George or that Chastity is more successful than Lisa.

But, I just realized that this survey happened in the UK, so it all makes sense. Happy Friday.

Oh, reading this it just occurred to me that the name Barack is probably going to catch on in the U.S.

Hell, who conducted such a survey? That's just damned silly.

What about Lisa Simpson? Or Jethro? By this logic, if the world is full of more BEverly Hillbillies Jethros than, say, Jethro Tulls...
