Name your kids David & Susan to invite wealth?

Here's a kind of pointless article from Netscape News: It's about the richest people, and what their names are. The article implies that in order for your children to be successful, name them things from these lists.

However... John is a pretty common name all around. If you could take a poll of the *poorest* people out there, I'll bet John will rank pretty high as well. Would that mean that your baby John is destined to become a hobo?

Ooh, nice. I'm a Susan and currently in college so this gives me hope that I will get a good job once I graduate (probably not going to happen, but still there's hope!)
