Names and Mom's level of Education

Saw this on Amazon and thought it was interesting.
A couple of weeks ago someone had posted a link to Slate.com where they were talking about a book, "Freakonomics," that discusses baby names and children's eventual lots in life, examining the coreelation between the two. ANYWAY, I was looking at the book on Amazon.com and it had a link to the appendix of the book where the authors list some baby names and the mother's corresponding average highest attained level of education. Example: 12.0 would be high school graduate, 14.0 would be h.s. plus two years of college, and so on. Anyway, just thought some might find this an interesting look:

Interesting.
