What Your Name Says About You

Did you know that your name can actually have an effect on your personality and how others perceive you?

For example, some research has shown that if you have a “sonorant” name that flows easily, such as Mona or Owen, people are more likely to perceive you as agreeable and conscientious. Or, if you have a name with sharper sounds, like Katie or Curtis, people are more likely to see you as extroverted.[1]

Some researchers even think that your name can have an effect on your decisions in life and the development of your personality. For example, a study conducted at Beijing’s Institute of Psychology suggests that people with very unique names are more likely to pursue unusual careers, to match the sense of identity they’ve gotten from their name all their life.[2]

In other words, your name might be a whole lot more than a few syllables your parents chose on the day you were born. It may have a big impact on your life!
