Good guess. The conclusion was that the outcome of the child had more to do with the economic status of the parents and where the child was raised than it did with the name, essentially refuting the concept that the name you give your child has any significance.
Of course, a child named "Shithead" is pretty much hosed regardless.
There was also a tale of a guy with 9 kids... he named his 8th kid "Winner" and his 9th "Loser"... Loser went on to be a rather well off adult, while "Winner" ended up on jail.
