It actually has a HUGE impact on a child in their developmental years.
Mind you, there's the whole nature vs nurture argument but I've never met a Barbie who wasn't a bimbo. Children grow to develop a personality reflective of the name they're given.

I would love to see any kind of research that shows this that factors in demographics. I don't buy it at all.
