I wish I knew the name of the book, but one time, years ago, they were
talking about this book on the radio that compiled a list of names and
the common associations with those names. (ie. Dexter tends to be nerdy,
etc.)

The problem with unique names is it makes it impossible to find those
little personalized lisence plates or pencils for your kids. (my
children are named Tobias and Random)

Also, WRT the whole family line issue, my dad was adopted. So while I
still feel a connection to my last name, I am not really, technically a
Renfer.
