What's in a name?

I came across this on the Today's show's website:

"Writing in Social Science Quarterly, Shippensburg University professor David Kalist says giving newborn males oddball, girly or strange first names may just help land them in jail.

In alphabetical order, the Top 10 “bad boy” names, according to Kalist, are Alec, Ernest, Garland, Ivan, Kareem, Luke, Malcolm, Preston, Tyrell and Walter."

See, it's not our fault he's such a hellion. It's his name that's the problem. Maybe we'll ask for bail money for his birthday this year.
