Ignoring Caspar Weinberger for a moment, it is strange
how it is all in one's name. Either you'll be elevated to greatness
or doomed to mediocrity at best. Would the current miss
Universe or whatever have won that title if she had been a Lola
Granola? I think not..

Norwegian sociologists would call this the "Roy-Ronny-and Rune
syndrome". If you happen to have one of those names, chances
are that you're living on social welfare benefits. If your name is
something like Marcus or Joachim you're probably doing allright.
The sociology of names is quite interesting...

I can name a lot of great names on boys. Just name them after
famous football players. Diego, Marco, Emile, Sammy, Sami,
Michael, Danny/Dani, Robbie, Paolo etc.. ( Though stay away
from David ) If I decide to further diminish the quality of the
Norwegian gene pool by reproducing ( with the future queen
already having a muffin in the oven ), then that's what I'll do.

Robert and Christopher are great names as they don't create
much of a fuss ( and remember Roberto Baggio ). I doubt any
kid with that name has ever been bullied or whipped with a wet
towel, naked ,outside the girls' locker room in 6th grade
( ....don't ask.... ) unless he also happened to suck in sports.

Viggo, like the famous Danish ( who's got a reputation of never
showering ) is either a Scandinavian or maybe a Germanic name
which strengthen my point. All Viggos I've met so far have
struggled with some sort of disorder probably rooted in some
childhood trauma related to their names.

Another one is Arve, one I've resigned myself to live with. Most
raise their eyebrows upon hearing it, few can pronounce it and
nobody knows what it means.... And here I sit in some dirty
university's computer lab, writing this while comforting myself by
thinking of good ol' Caspar.

I remember how I broke into tears after I, in my first class in
English ( 3rd grade ),got to know we'd get English names during
classes. Sensing an opportunity, I raised my hopes up high only
to have them crushed by being given the name "Harry".

Ah well.. Live long and prosper.

Arve ( From ancient Norwegian [ norroent ] Arnvidr. Arn=Eagle,
Vidr= Tree. See also Arvid, though not to be confused with Arne,
Oliver or Harvey. )
