If I name my firstborn "Chad" will he be successful and confident?

Chadwick. Chad's just his nickname for the ladies.

The two Chads in my high school class were both fat and unattractive and haven't really done anything with their lives since high school

To take this seriously for a second: if you really care, you should give him a name which is easy to spell phonetically and consists of only one syllable. K and R sounds are good too, though only secondary to that one syllable rule.

If you're really investing in this idea, consider your last name too. If it's not easily spelled phonetically or contains more than two syllables, go with your wife's maiden name instead.

The one-one and one-two rhythm is very comfortable for people. Bill Gates. Steve Jobs. Jeff Bezos.

Fine you fucking pedant.
>can consist of only one syllable (in full or as its common nickname)

And yes, Dick Cheney. Also Dick Nixon. Bill Clinton and both George Bushes. Ron Reagan. Jim Carter. Politics seems to like the one-two.

Chad is a title, not a name.

Just like naming your kid King won't make him king.

I count my lucky stars every day my last name has two syllables, for my kids, and my first is one.
God tier for people talking about you/remembering you.
Never thought about it much, makes sense

King's an unfortunate example because it's not an elected office--though it can be taken by force I suppose. But otherwise there is something to be said by nominative determinism.

Yep, same here. My first name is also slightly on the rarer side so I'm often one of the few people who a person will have met with that name. Sticks like fucking glue.
