The Baby-Name Business

When I read the title of the article I was interested to know more, as I got through the blurb about the article I was surprised! But the content and idea just made me mad...

The Baby-Name Business - from AOL Coaches. The article made one thing obvious some people have too much money and too little gray matter. So it is up to smart business people, the marketers and entrepreneurs to offer them a proposition that helps them in both those areas.

If I were to guess more than 5% of the people don't even like the names their parents chose for them, then all this fuss? Remember the artist Prince. A unique name is good but I suggest they go back to reading Romeo & Juliet by Shakespear...

From Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet:

JULIET:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? that which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
And for that name which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
