What's in your name? Sometimes name can hurt its owner. It usually happens when parents give a rare or strange name to their child. A child with strange name begins socializing and comes across some difficulties with other children. Children give offensive nicknames and sometimes bully this child. The other case if a person has the same name as someone famous had. If that famous person had a good reputation, I think the name could help and people could treat this person in more positive way. And to the contrary if the name has a bad reputation it could play tricks on its owner.
