I have a strong dislike of any double barrel first name. It always makes it seem as if the parents are cousins (either in a backwoods way or a royal way-either way, ew). Burberry is a surname, and SAFN is popular again; though the effect is not what the parents desired, I’m sure, due to associations with the brand. I wouldn’t outright judge an interviewee on most names. The only names that would make me instantly hover over “delete” are names in what I call The Ridiculous category (think: Majesty, Yermajesty, King, Queen, Jaqueen, God, Archangel, Royal, Royale, XÆ A-Xii, I’munique, Adolf Hitler, Aryan Nation, Whytepower, Hashtag, J-a, etc).
