And looks like it doesn't cut it in the real world anymore either. According to a new survey on the science of names, the dafter the moniker, the higher up the food chain a person will eventually scrabble.
Which could mean the Beckhams have been playing a cunning tactical hand in the baby name stakes all along. Or that when Jordan and Peter plumped for Princess Tiáamii they had more than just the chuckle factor in mind.
Elsewhere in the survey, people with first names of royal conotations, like Charles, James, Elizabeth, etc were deemed more intelligent and more 'succesful'. And women with names ending in an 'ee' vowel sound, like Sophie, or Katie - more attractive. Ryan, oddly, came out tops in the sexy boys name charts - which lauds those which short, sharp names and penalises those with long. Isn't life fickle.
