Re: Pro-common names article
There's a difference between a very uncommon or truly unique name, and a name that is established and used on a regular basis, yet not very popular and common. I've always been an advocate for avoiding very popular names, yet the names that I would advocate using are not extremely unusual or unique. I still advocate avoiding popular names. There is a happy medium.I'm just surprised that 38% of white men are arrested before the age of 23. No doubt the majority are for nonviolent "crimes", probably drug offenses. Welcome to the police state. That's really the problem. I'm disturbed that anyone would find it necessary to advocate choosing common monikers to avoid the ease of being shamed for an arrest, rather than addressing the real problem.
