] Psychologist Cleveland Kent Evans, who studies names and
] their social effects, says the unusual-name trend among
] celebrities is a kind of self-reinforcing phenomenon. "I
] don't think of these names as coming just from
] celebrities so much as coming from creative celebrities,
] or at least those that want to be thought of as
] creative," he says. "It's the musicians and actresses and
] to some extent the visual artists who give those sorts of
] names to their children. You don't find the politicians
] and athletes giving names like that to their kids."
