  • Maybe it’s just me then, but I developed a bit of a complex related to this. In high school everyone referred to the popular kid with my name by simply First_name, I guess as the default. Whereas I was First_name Last_initial. Many have debated whether this complex of mine actually preceded this incident and that I’m just blaming outside circumstances. I guess we’ll never know.


  • True, although I have changed all my names to uncommon yet culturally familiar names. IF I ever accomplish anything in my life I don’t want to be lumped in with all the thousands of other Muhammad Marie Wangs (most common first, middle, and last names). Although due to associations with distinct cultures this specific permutation is likely far less common than assuming a raw independence of names.

    Your tag seems to suggest that there aren’t genetic predispositions to certain cancers (e.g. BRCA1 for breast cancer). A better criticism might be “that’s not how cancer works” since every cancer type is essentially a separate disease. Cheers.
