What’s in a name?

The-sun-future-rulers-hed-2013

Call out the name John in a crowded room and you will likely turn a lot of heads. Chances are good that one of them will be an ad agency owner. The most popular first name among ad agency owners, founders, presidents, ceos, and other top executives in the ad agency world is John. While James is the most popular name in the US according to the census, it ranks #36 in my unofficial survey of 1,400 ad agencies. The most popular female name is Jennifer. She ranks #51 of all names on the list. In total, there are 512 different names including derivatives of the same name like Debbie, Debbi and Debi. Gender breaks out 41% female, 69% male.
