29. Actually the odd names may reveal a lot about family dynamics and emotions

People I know name their children after a beloved family member, friend, or someone they may not know personally but whom they admire.
Not one of their brood was named after a family member, friend, or an admirable person. They were named after a sport, a plane, a place, etc.
I wonder whether the parents have any real emotional connections with anyone or are capable of feeling admiration for anyone. Their kids are fucked up because the parents are emotionally dead.
