Wondering if names influence graduate futures

Sometimes I wonder if the names of new graduates will influence their futures.

For example, will…

Ms. Summers become a global warming expert? Mr. White and Ms. Black argue incessantly with no shades of gray? Mr. Short and Ms. Stack order pancakes together?

Mr. Berry move to Napa Valley? Mr. Noe and Ms. Good's engagement be headlined "Noe-Good?" Mr. Conn move to Nigeria?

Mr. Ma and Ms. Paul have kids? Ms. Long and Mr. Jumper coach track together? Mr. Wang and Ms. Chung dance to "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight?"

Ms. Wright ever find Mr. Right or admit she's wrong? Mr. Morse and Ms. Kolde exchange signals? Ms. Gay be refused a marriage license?

Ms. Cook and Mr. Grubbs open a greasy spoon? Mr. Corn and Ms. Cobb sell pipes in a head shop? Ms. Gill, Ms. Bass and Ms. Hatcher open a seafood restaurant?

Ms. Brooks be accused of babbling? Ms. Herro save her neighbors from a babbling Ms. Brooks? Ms. Lamb and Mr. Chopp open a butcher shop?

Ms. Crow be told to stop bragging? Mr. Wolfe like the ladies a little too much? Mr. Goode and Ms. Rench open a parts store?
