    So I'm relatively conservative in demeanor myself but politically liberal, and I guess one of the questions this raises is like - Should I tell other people how to raise their kids? Am I supposed to go around chastising less affluent people for naming their kids differently?

    Do I need to go around performatively reminding people "Name is destiny, choose a common name" if I don't think the world should be that way?

    The author's criticism seems incredibly paternalistic.
