Do you find people with names like Star, Precious or Tray have a harder time in life as they grow or do you think it seems to make no difference at all?

Many people today are using names for their children that seem unusual. Before names like Star or Precious would be used for a stripper and it was a stage name. Now its not unusual for parents to use these names or to make up a name and name the child after vehicles or other objects. Do you think that in some cases it may limit a childs potential as an adult. Perhaps make it difficult for someone to take them seriously or hinder how they see themselves?
Lets say you meet a girl called Candy and she is really sexy looking. Do people assume she may be a call girl?
Or do you sometimes assume they may be the opposite of their name? Like I’ve met some guys named Jesus and they were as far from goodness as could be. I’ve also known a girl called Precious and she was spoiled, selfish, bratty, and at times violent to other children.
