What is the average age of a CEO? At what year of birth does that place them? What were the most popular boy names that year? If the most popular boy names that year were Robert, John, James, William, and David, then you would expect those to be the most common CEO names. The most popular boy names in the 1950s (quick Google search) were John, James, Robert, William, and Michael. That accounts for all of your top five except for David, which was #6 on the most popular boy names list. Your assertion that the names of those on your CEO list had a signficant effect on career path is questionable, though you could still suggest that having a common name did nothing to [I]prevent[/I] those individuals from becoming CEOs. Unfortunately, this research does nothing to help my case in the GoBot vs. Transformer (aka die-cast metal vs. marketing) debate.

Logan, Hunter and Willem. While these may sound cool, chances may be better that you will end up with a Mixed Martial Arts dynamo than a dominant force financial success. According to the US Government, in 2005 the most popular boy names were Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew and Ethan. Some of you are on the right track to having powerful kids, but some are flat out reading the wrong books, naming after the wrong relatives or watching too much TV.
