What's In a Name?

Dear Heather,

Do you think the close relationship between Anthony Weiner’s name and his behavior is mere coincidence, or simply fate?

Dear Jasmine,

Some say we are destined to live out our namesake--that the name makes the man, so to speak. I feel there is truth to that concept and one can see it playing out in the unfortunate case of Mr. Weiner. Thanks for your question. I hope it is the last one I receive with the word “weiner” in it.
Heather
