Note: Ahmets and Mehmets are Turks (as a word-terminal d becomes a t in their language), the others may be Muslims of any origin.

Note also the pattern in the more high IQ children having traditional Danish names (or at least names traditionally used in Denmark, even if they're Latin like August), while more primitive names like 'Kenny', 'Kevin' and 'Mickey' score lower.

Anglicized/Americanized households in Denmark appear to be more cretinous. I wonder what that's about. (Cough, Hollywoke, cough.)

William is pretty high, Jonathan and Adrian are high middling IQ but unusually poor, Tommy and Brian lowish average IQ but rich.

Might just be that Anglicized names have a lower sample size so they are outliers on the graph in mostly random directions.

Jonathan and Adrian are Hebrew and Latin respectively. They are native to Denmark. William (in this spelling) is an English name. I can't find native Danish forms, so I wonder if they amalgamated names that were too few in number. Aside from William, all > 100 IQ names are names traditionally used in Denmark.

I do have a distaste for giving names that are diminutives or nicknames, like "Tommy" or "Danny", particularly when these are foreign.
