According to Family Guy, Keith is the worst male name in the English language. So...I guess you might as well end your misery right now. :'(

If anyone's interested, here`s a site that provides a quiz (link at the bottom) for you to enter what you think about a name. This link goes to all the statistics, proving that stereotyping for this does, in fact, exist.

I know I stereotype names all the time... I just can`t hear a name like "Chip" without thinking "douche bag/jock" or a name like "Candy" without thinking "slut."

"Old and overweight: Dolores"

That's quite funny because I happen to know someone named Dolores who is in fact old and overweight. So I guess she was pre-destined to turn out that way because of her name. Thanks, Dolores` mom.
