A French court has stopped parents from naming their baby girl Nutella after the hazelnut spread, ruling that it would make her the target of derision. The judge ordered that the child be called Ella instead.
Do you think your name has hindered or increased your likelihood of success and happiness?
Natasha is a sexy Russian name, everyone loves a Natasha. If people know my name in advance of meeting me they already assume me to be a tall sexy woman with high intelligence. Naturally, I don't let them down when we meet.
But let's face it, some names are going to hinder you. Tanya and Stacey for example, both well known slags names. Any ridiculous "celebrity" name like Kylie, Britney or Justin is equally going to hold you back. And old fashioned names like Bruce, Fred, Ethel and Dorothy are not going to bring you the success you crave.
If you could go back in time would you stop your parents from giving you your name?
