Ok this is a weird thing that bugs me all the time. Peoples names being personalities. Like every Lindsey I've ever met or heard about has been a crazy drug addict. All Pauls seem to be quiet, vaguely boring and like balancing footballs.
How did this ever happen?

Sometimes the root of the name can be the cause of this. Paul is a biblical name, so families that are very religious will often name their children after people like Paul, Matthew, Luke, John, Andrew, etc. I'm not saying that all Christians are boring, but I don't think they have a tendency of being Action Jackson.
This probably isn't the case for all Paul's in the world, but it's the explanation I have for the boring Paul's I've known. xD

Chris? Well I had a friend called Christ when I was 7 and he was a wolly. Always followed me around just incase I'd go on an adventure and whenever we were in the middle of one he'd start crying and make me take him to his mother. He was three years older than me. The second Chris I'v known used to lie about things. Really stupid things. Me: "Hey I saw you Saturday at the cinema." Chris: "No you didn't!" Some other person: "Yeah I saw you too." Chris: "Seriously you di--- ok ok I was there." So I'd say Chris's are wollys, very strange wollys.
Samantha's tend to be mouthy. I've not met a Samantha who didn't contain a vocabulary that could make the devil blush.

Did you know that none of the British Royal family are called "King John II"? Well after the bad regrime under King John I back in the ye olde medieval days, none of the royal blood wants to do with with that King John afterwards since then.
In other words, take that Brits! (I kid, kid. Still your country is a little messed up on the history of monachy line compare to the old Royal Jasen line in Korea that lasted for centruries until the decling era of the monachy ruling.)

Wow random interesting facts again from Tillian... you're like an encyclopedia but a much more amusing one....
Oh the most common name for an action hero is Jack and John. Jack is really taking the lead though. lol

But Mr Buch you're a little bit of a wolly aren't you? lol
If it helps the only Grace's I have ever met have been hyperactive trouble makers... then again they have all been under the age of 5... but even I'd admit that description suits me.

True story - I've always intended to name my daughter Grace when I have one.
Madam, now you've insulted me and my unborn child! (Okay, now I'm talking nonsense.)

Awww you're naming your daughter after me. Thats so sweet! lmao
I rather thought I was insulting myself but ok... far be it for me not to insult everyone on the planet at least once in my life time... albeit unintentionally.

My son will be called Ben. Don't tell the mother, whoever she will turn out to be - but he's going to be secretly named after Kenobi.

LOL Mister Buch. Thats a great choice. I really like the name Benjamin myself after Benjamin Sisko form Deep Space Nine. However we've decided that if we have a son we'll call him Malcom Thomas, after my hubbies uncle who died in May and Thomas because its a weird family tradition to give a son the middle name of Thomas. I always liekd Joshua as well. If somehow we ever have a 2nd son I'll be sure to put my foot down and demand he be called, Benjamin Joshua or maybe Benjamin Austin.... My lovely hubby has got his mits on female names as well. He wants Kathryn after his grandmother and Nicola (I HATE that name).... I want to name after my sister Rayn Willow Francis, but he hates all three of those names. I also always wanted to call a girl Star.... he's not having that either. At this rate I'm going to refuse him offspring completely seeing as I already don't like the idea of being pregnant. I just want to adopt.
