Helsinki in November

It's a game you can't win. My first daughter's name was a compromise, the only one my husband and I could agree on. We thought it was fairly obscure, but by the time she was three, it was the #1 one girl's name. My second daughter got a classic name I picked twenty years earlier (Daddy relented on that one), but it, too, was the #1 name within a couple of years.

My niece got a very obscure family name that had been used only for men. It was unique until someone famous gave it to their son ten years later.

Already by the end of page 1 I was chucking. "Surprisingly, no one has ever done any research on naming strategies (so long as you conveniently ignore [4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25] and likely other work)."
Then page 2, "This set-up gives us convenient parameters for the model and just enough Greek letters to sound smart enough for publication." And how myopic parents with "perfectaccess to baby name data" is "a realistic assumption".
Oh, and citation 6 ("They would be wrong.") is a SIGBOVIK (a satirical computer science conference organized by Carnegie Mellon students) presentation by the authors themselves!
Thanks for the pointer!
