Has anyone ever read "Freakonomics", specifically the chapter on names? The researcher found Lemonjello, Orangello, and Shithead (rhymes with Rasheed) to name a few.

What about ethnic names? Sure naming your kid Satan or Skip to My Lou or Hometown Buffet maybe odd and downright abusive, but what about ethnic kids with unpronounceable names? Should they be "forced" to adopt Englishy names?
