Hello, My Name Is | Radiolab Podcast

From the Radiolab podcast: What’s in a name? Six surprising stories about names.
As a species, we’re obsessed with names. They’re one of the first labels we get as kids. We name and rename absolutely everything around us. And these names carry our histories, they can open and close our eyes to the world around us, and they drag the weight of expectation and even irony along with them.
In this episode, we’ve got six stories all about names: horse names, the names of diseases, names for the beginning, and names for the end.

I have the same problem with my Gmail account. I got it way early and I get all kinds of mail for other people.

Could the horses have been named "randomly", or by means of disregard, for the loss to hurt less if they were to die/ become injured? (i.e: losing "stupid" would theoretically hit less hard)
