Can a name like 'Slim Easy' really determine your child's fate?

I spent months trying to choose that perfect one-of-a-kind name for my second child. I wanted that weird and wild name that nobody else in their class would have, even penciling in names on the more unusual end, like Petal Blossom Rainbow.

Jamie Oliver

Sadly, Jamie Oliver had already taken that moniker for his third daughter. I threw aside other names on the top of my list: Talulah, Boudicca and Valentina. I wanted a name beginning with “L” to match my eldest daughter Lola, whose name came to me in a lightbulb moment, as if she was always destined to be called that.
