Manny L'Adorable Harris

Submitted by mejunglechop on
Most of us seasoned Mgobloggers know Manny's real first name, Corperryale, but who knew that is middle name is actually L'Adorable? No joke. On second thought I feel like this is too good to have gone unnoticed. I must have missed a thread or something. Anyway, Link?

Actually, there is no law that makes it illegal to refuse employment on the basis of someone's name (as opposed to someone's race). Regardless, if someone has a stack of 100 resumes for a sales position, I'm betting that Corperryale L'Adorable does not go to the top of the stack. P.S. Get off of my lawn.

This thread has officially ceased being a basketball thread and become a Freakonomics thread. For those who don't know, they have an interesting chapter on names, chances for success, and what names are the most popular for various economic demographics. It pretty much verifies what most of us already know: if two resumes are identical, but one says "Connor" and the other says "Barkavious," Connor will probably get the interview.
