What's In a Name

Thanh and Mark are about to have a baby. They’ve got the usual pre-parenting jitters – with one added anxiety: they can’t agree on a name for the baby. With a little help from history, they toss around names that have triumphed - and failed - in the past. From the biblical (Nathaniel) to the royal (Victoria), pop culture successes (Elvis) to failures (Moon Unit Zappa?) we journey through the ages and discover that our names not only represent who we are, but also reflect the time and place we were born. We even get entertaining tips from construction workers on hot girl names (sorry Gertrude!), and explore whether the letters in our names influence how others perceive us. Intrigued yet? Wait until you find out what they named the baby!
