I read that giving a baby boy an unusual name can make him a criminal?

I read an article that says that baby boys with unusual names are more likely to become juvenile delinquents. Do you think this is possible? Anyone with a weird name who thinks that is why they steal?

No. Giving your baby boy a terrible childhood without morals or principles and exposing him to bad behaviors or traumatic experiences, IS what makes him PRONE to being a criminal when older.
Reply:Obviously it's not the name that makes them a criminal. If they are teased and tormented at school it may make them depressed, or angry. Their parents shoud help them to learn to deal with bullies and how to appropriately manage the situation. If this is not done though the depression an anger could get worse and even lead to suicide, or as you said acting out criminally. It is not the name that determines whether they are a criminal or not though.
Reply:I can see the logic behind that. Kind of. If a boy had a name that was so unusual that he felt different and alienated from the crowd, then naturally he'd grow up with poor self-esteem (and want to rebel against conformity).





I think names matter a lot more when it comes to men.

Reply:I don't agree. A name is a name. It doesn't determine a persons personality and make them commit crimes.





And it also sounds very sexist. Why only boys? why not girls as well?
Reply:Thats interesting!





I don't know how that would affect them though. I have heard of plenty of men with a name such as John who are criminals too.
Reply:well that's just ridiculous
Reply:Only if you call him Adolf,Saddam or Beckham.
Reply:Oh so that makes me a criminal? That's so lame!
Reply:only if people tease him about it. Teach him to stand up for himself, and he'll be fine.
