Sorry, you don't get to use "damaging" as debate avoider. Maybe if you PROVED damaging in a quantifiable measure. Till then, it's nothing more than your opinion and you are not god.
Spare me your subjective nonsense. It's an established fact that names can and do cause damage to the individual:
Your Career: Can your name affect your career? - Business - Careers | NBC News
One study by researchers at MIT and the University of Chicago found that job applicants with names that sounded African-American got short shrift when it came to the hiring process. The researchers sent out 5,000 fake resumes, and it turned out that resumes with names such as Tyrone and Tamika were less likely to get calls from prospective employers than their Anglo-sounding counterparts, and qualifications seemed to have little impact.
John, for example, was seen by those polled as largely “wholesome,” while Juan was rated higher when it came to being “devious.” And as far as the “strange” rating on the two names — 44 percent thought John was strange, while nearly 70 percent thought Juan was strange.
Now, try calling your kid some **** like "Aryan Race" and see how that works out for you.
