Sins of the parents?

She's an idiot, a self publicist and a failed apprentice but....snob, moron or does she have a point? Her own kids are called 'India' and 'Poppy', (Poppy I can just about live with, but India kinda negates her right to enter a debate on the name of a child being proportional to the intelligence of the parents)



She talks about not letting her kids play with other kids based on their names (Tyler, Kylie, Charmaine etc..), which of course is outrageous because you cannot blame the kids for the names they are given by their parents.

Fifi Trixibelle and Peaches (Paula Yates), Brooklyn and Romeo (Posh and Becks), Zowie (David Bowie), River, Summer, Liberty and Rain Joan of Arc Phoenix (hippie parents)

But.... in reality do kids named after Harry Potter or Twilight characters behave worse than those with traditional names? And if they do, is this because their parents have stereotypical poor parenting skills because they choose names based on fads, films and TV programs?

(Egg&Chips if you're still lurking I'd be interested in a teachers view on this one)
