Have you read the book "Freakanomics" by Stephen D. Levitt & Stephen J. Dubner? One of the studies in the books describes how kids with extremely unusual names typically come from low-income households, and have a much lower chance of even graduating high school. I'm not even remotely sure why that is, but it's interesting, none the less.

Are you having a kid already? Please don't tell me you're planning one at your age.
well idk if "Jade" is an unusual name for a guy but thats my name...(Jade Free-Spirit-Bear Pelcher) i was originally from a low-income family until our tribe started givin my mom her per capita checks (basically money from the casino that we get just for being native) so money wouldnt be that big of a problem once im an adult i'll get a G a week (im a little over half) and my kids are guaranteed to be over 1/4 native (u need to be 1/4 to get per cap, and about 1/2 if its with this girl im with and most likely will be with) my moms names Tonia and she didnt turn out better then any of her sisters ("Misty Clear-Water White-Cloud Pelcher" "Raven Sweet-Bear Pelcher" etc.) im going to college to get a degree in psychology/therapy etc. and whatnot so my kids r prolly guna b coming from high-income familys & im not too concerned whether they choose to graduate or not as long as they find something in life they're happy with, intelligence and artistic shit runs in my family my grandparents are a rich lawyer in Chicago, a medicine man/spiritual type person, a potter, beadworker my mom was really smart but she started poppin us 4 out at age 17 so she quit college to take care of us, my dads a cannabis user/guitar player/artist who works with many types of musical & artistic abilities but hes in it for the love of his art not the money he could be extremely wealthy if he wanted to but hes not into material things god DAMN i feel like i jus told my whole life story just to contradict what u said maybe i like to argue
