A?name?might?tell ?you ?something ?about ?a ?person's ?background. ?Names ?can ?be?signifiers（示意的符號）of class?and?race.?Data?show?African?Americans?are?far?more?likely than other (29) ?????????????????????groups to give their children uncommon names.

White people tend to favor more familiar names that were formerly popular with more (30) ?????????????????white people.

The?new study?purports（聲稱）?to show a link?between?name and outcome of?life:?The more unpopular your name, the more likely you are to land in?juvenile hall. That's because?we?know?that?boys?with?uncommon?names?are?more?likely?to?come?from?a?socio-economically (31) ???????????????????background, which means that they also

are more likely to get involved with?crime.?Even?the?researchers?readily?admit?that?it's?not a name alone that affects a child's?outcome,?but rather the?circumstance?(32)

?the name.

The researchers first (33) ???????????????????a popularity score to boys' names, based?on?how?often they?showed up in birth records?in?an?undisclosed?state?from?1987?to?1991.?Michael, the No.?1 boy's name, had a Popular Name Index score of 100; names such as?Malcolm and Preston had index scores of 1. The researchers?then?(34) ?????????????????????

names?of?young?men?born?during?that?time?who?landed?in?the?juvenile?justice?system.?They found that only half?had a rating higher than?11. By (35) ??????????????????????, in the

general?population,?half of the?names?scored?higher?than?20.?"A?10%?increase?in?the?popularity?of?a?name?is?associated?with?a?3.7%?(36)????????????????????in?the?number?of?juvenile?delinquents?who?have?that?name."

Still,?the study?theorizes（推測）?that?teenagers?named Malcolm?might also act?out?because their (37) ?????????????????????????treat them differently or they?just don't?like their

names. And since the study's release last week, the name-crime (38) ????????????????????????has?been written or talked about in major media outlets.
