I'm gonna be creative and name my children "Destiny" "Miracle" and "Trinity"! -every dumb parent ever.

Freakonomics suggests children with these names are the victims of subconscious discrimination when it comes to job applications.

If John Smith is a computer programmer, and Destiny/Shequawn/etc. is a computer programmer, chances are they won't get the job with the same qualifications.

Which is why job applications should be handled with a measure of rigor similar to scientific double-blind testing. If I conduct a job interview, I want the person's voice distorted, their name blacked-out on the resume, and they should be behind frosted glass. All I want is their qualifications. Hell, make them converse with me over an instant messenger, so I could only potentially judge them based on their grammar, or lack of it (which would be a valuable indicator of whether or not they can write well, which is an important skill).

I had thought that when I have children I will name my first daughter Luna, and my first son Sol (after The Moon and The Sun, respectively, of course)... then I'll think of the rest as they come... hopefully, I will only have one of each... but Miranda (a moon of Saturn, I believe? EDIT: nope, it's a moon of Uranus) would be another good girl's name.. Titan (another moon of Saturn) or Triton (moon of Neptune) might just work for a boy, but I might have to keep thinking on that one...

Anyway, Solar System bodies would be my theme, is all I am saying.

EDIT: Larissa is another good girl's one from Neptune... and Ariel from Uranus... Elara, from Jupiter... Rhea, Saturn... Actually, most of them are good girl's names, not many good boy's ones.

I knew a guy studying space engineering called Sol. Pretty awesome.

So a Kerman lottery eh? Fire up your KSP, launch a 1 capsule mission and lets hear your childs name.

Not bad. I can live with that. (dunno if the child can or not, tough, KSP has spoken)

Either Jebidiah, or Fredfred. If I have male triplets, you know...

If female, I'll just give them the names' counterparts. (Or the soon-to-come female kerbal names)

(This probably won't happen for another 20 somewhat years though)
