Absolutely! I knew this girl...her name was Constant Delight (her real name!)...and she was! Our names can often influence who we become. I used to love this old song called "A Boy Named Sue" by Johnny Cash...and in the song, he became really strong because he always had to fight. I found out my real name is derived from German...and it said something about me being contemplative and outgoing...and it's true!

Almost more than anything else. The tricky part is that looks can be very deceiving. I am getting some notice about my avatar, It looks like the person behind the answers but only a little like me. My nose is not that long. Most people seem to assume ignorance when they first see me, I have found this to be an advantage because when people feel superior they let down there guard and show who they really are. First impressions only matter when you want something, self sufficiency is more satisfying than good looks. Creation has more substance than beauty and in the end, those who can truly see will find some beauty in everyone.

I believe that it is the other way around. A persons name influences the other people around them.
When I say the names, Myron, Egbert, Eugene what do you think?
Nerds? Geeks? Pencil necks?
These guy's never had a chance! Before you even met them you already had your mind made as to what and who these people were.
This being the case, molds the person to the implied character. If the person is treated like a geek, he will be a geek.

Sometimes the person had weird parents and that was why they ended up with a weird name. I have met too many girls named Angel who weren't for it not to be a coincidence but I am guessing that they were spoiled rotten or given no boundaries growing up. However, I have met many different guys or women with the same name with totlally different personalities so it doesn't always hold. These were usually people with normal names however. Not geek names.

I don't.
But I do believe a persons history and present actions say everything you need to know.
I refuse to believe the name makes the man.
