I actually wonder if it is the other way around – that in fact, rather than a person’s name helping to determine or influence their success or otherwise, it is we, the observer, who notices the synchronicity between a given subject’s attributes and their name. We then draw the [potentially] false conclusion that they match up for a reason.

Allow me to christen this as yet unnamed phenomenon “accusative predetermination”!

In reality it’s probably a mixture of both.

Good luck with your new blog. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts on the psychology of the complex creatures that we are.

P.S. FIRST POST!!!
