What's in a name? - or at least, the letters of a name!

Here's a wacky article I found in - of all places! - the New York Times. Seems there is a theory around that people like the letters of their own names (and especially their initials) better than any other letters, and this influences all kinds of things - who they work for, where they live, who they marry and how they vote! Here's part of the article:

"Johnsons are more likely to wed Johnsons, women named Virginia are more likely to live in (and move to) Virginia, and people whose surname is Lane tend to have addresses that include the word “lane,” not “street.” During the 2000 presidential campaign, people whose surnames began with B were more likely to contribute to George Bush, while those whose surnames began with G were more likely to contribute to Al Gore."

Let's see....C..A..K - worked for I...B..M, voting for B....O, married to D...H...V, lives in R...C -well, we finally got one! Must be true!
