Wall Street firms top list of popular baby names

[Mikeystyle]

While the nation’s birth rate has declined since the economic downturn, an increasing number of new parents are giving their offspring the monikers of Wall Street titans and the companies they work for. Even parents of young children are joining in by changing their children’s names.

Little Morgan Stanley, born Monday at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, is one of those children. His parents, Wanda and Robert Stanley of Chicago, said their families were upset with them for not naming their son after a relative but soon realized it would give the child a leg up on life.

“We want our son to grow up with all the advantages that we never had, like having the government bail him out when he makes a mistake,” Robert Stanley said. “We’re going to teach him that it’s wrong to steal from other people, but if he ever did we’d like for him to avoid going to jail.”
