welcome to the mix, everyone. if you re an expectant mom or dad, then you know these days people obsess about the names they re going to give their kids. absolutely. maybe not just these days. i think in general people kind of obsess about the names. give them an identity. it can predict their future a little bit. now it can predict how much they earn apparently. i don t know if i believe this study, but there s a whole lot of evidence here. the ladders, which is a website, decided to do a little research. they found the shorter your name, the more you will earn. they created a little graph and everything. names with the highest paying jobs, tom, rob, dale, doug, wayne. that s for men. for women, it loses a little credibility, and you ll hear why. lynn, short name. kathy, dana, short names.
