"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." -Romeo and Juliet (II, ii, 1-2) How much does an individual's name actually shape who they are as a person? There is evidence that names are linked to behavior and personality, but that might not be as far as it goes. There is a growing body of research that suggests that we become bias towards the letters in our name, which comes about in a number of different ways. This bias likely influences who we choose for friendships and romantic partners, as well as what we purchase and even how much money we spend on certain items. Do letters really have that much power? Evidently, yes. There's nothing more personal than a name, and it makes sense that we're a bit egotistical when it comes to the letters and sounds that make them up. There is research to show that people choose where to live based on the similarities to their own name. For instance, St. Louis contains a lot more people actually named Louis than you might expect. The same study also found that it could sway individuals toward certain careers, as they found a higher-than-anticipated number of people named Dennis opting to become dentists. There are also striking, everyday choices made because of this bias as well. |
