Yeah like imagine guys with unisex or "girly" names. They tend to not be the "tough" ones on the field...and yes that (as well as some other points ive made) are generalizations, but generalizations hold some truth to them. Just like stereotypes. Of course not "EVERY" Brittany will be a slut or whatever, but does it have some sort of role in the personality?

The idea that a name could affect a personality makes perfect sense to me. Certain mouthsounds are associated with certain feelings, and that combination of feelings is evoked whenever a person speaks their name or hears their name spoken, and repeated experience of certain feelings is bound to affect the personality in the long-term.

Like hypothetically speaking...think if you were to have a child who is a boy, and you decided to name him Susan. Would he grow up and mature the same way as a boy named Chuck?

my name is jason.

i remember on my first day of school a mother came up to me. there was a bug eyed boy with a vacant goofy smile who was half concealed behind her leg.

she said "jason meet dean. dean loves the power rangers. jason (the red one) is his favorite power ranger."

we instantly became best friends for life.

i always wanted to name my "kid" Jason when I was a kid

now I hate that name

i'd name my son James (hendrix)

my dad named me brother after Hendrix as well, his middle names Marshall :lol:

and if I had a daughter, I'd name her Izabella (also a Hendrix reference)

I'm weird.

Not at all, you should look into Dabrowski's theory of positive disintegration if you want to know what affects personalities.



Probably the first time I've ever heard this theory mentioned in regular conversation.
I'm only familiar with it in outline, but I love the theory, I think it really does hold true.

That was a very interesting read.
