Do not try this in Germany. There is the term kevinism or chantalism [1]. If you name your child in such a way, it is most likely to decrease his or her chances in life. I guess, most middle class parents in America will not name their "Heaven" or something like that, but in Germany it is even stricter. Germans seem to pay close attention to names and assign you to a social class, based on it. For example, if you get a phd, become a professor or member of a parliament, you are allowed to put a special token in front of your name (Dr., Prof., MdB, MdL), even in official documents like your driving license. http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2012/02/01/does-a-lame-name-make-you-more-likely-to-be-a-smoker-with-low-self-esteem/ http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/discoblog/2012/02/01/does-...
