Not only generations, but also socio-economic status and geography. Even amongst stereotypically ‘White’ names, derived from Britain, you are going to get weak correlations with the background of the parents. Richards may have slightly richer parents on average than Jacks, or more likely to come from one place or another. Richer people and people from different places look subtly different in most contexts. The effect wouldn’t be huge, but we meet and attach so much significance to names it would likely unconsciously effect our guesses.

Mycel My Post had NOTHING to do with heroin. I was citing an ACTUAL TV AD for a certain make and model of automobile. I hate having to explain punch lines, but for you: the older child learned that she was named after the CITY in which her parents (a “normal” married couple, as far as we know) conceived her. But her baby SISTER was named for the kind of CAR in which ... they may have been re-enacting their high school memories. NOW do you get it? Oh, I just noticed you were responding to my EARLIER post. The song “Sweet Georgia Brown” is normally assumed to refer to a woman the singer admired. If there was any drug reference, it was so well hidden that, after the Harlem Globetrotters used it as background music for their basketball shows, it has become identified in mainstream media with basketball. In the 1970s, Mel Brooks and his wife Anne Bancroft produced, directed, and starred in a remake of Jack Benny’s wartime dark humor movie “To Be or Not to Be,” about a Vaudeville theater in Warsaw whose owners run a scam on the Nazi occupiers, including Benny’s/Brooks’ character impersonating Hitler, to get a Free Polish pilot, their theater staff (Jews, Poles, and at least one gay man), and themselves to freedom. The Brooks version of the movie begins with the couple on stage, singing and dancing, and the song is Sweet Georgia Brown, IN POLISH! Nothing in there about drugs!

Another factor related to names comes from elementary school. Assigned seating is still relatively common early in your educational career. Alphabetical order is the most common scheme for that. That means that students whose names (usually last names) are earlier in the alphabet are more likely to sit near the front of the classroom. That is correlated with higher academic performance.

You say that like it somehow invalidates the concept. Parents who want their children to rise above their socioeconomic class will often give them names that they feel will help them do so.

Good point, but the video talks about how your name influences you regardless of what life you are born into. If your parents are professors but they, for some reason, give you the name "Adolf Hitler" then you are quite likely to have a difficult time regardless of your social status at birth. At the same time, if you are born to a poor family but your name is William. You are more likely (than most other names) to outgrow your poor status. And finally, not all names are equal on a global scale. If your name is Herschel and you are born in Syria then you are quite likely to be or have been beheaded.

I was talking with my brother about something like this a few weeks ago, trippy

My parents when naming me and my siblings kept one major thing in mind that way to many parents dont stop to consider, how easy will this name be for other kids to turn into an insult? They went out of their way to pick names that were common but not easy targets. I for one am thankful for that.

What about certain names being more popular in certain social climates? So a name that is more seen with professors could be more popular with parents that come from families that have more academics. For me, that sounds more or at least just as plausible as people living up to their names.

Joris Exactly what I was thinking. I have no idea what my name is supposed to live up to, and I'm sure that's the case for many other people. That makes it hard for the self-fulfilling prophesy theory to actually work out.

This looks like a massive correlation vs causation misjudgement. Don't you think that people with rich sounding names are more likely to succeed because they come from a rich family, rather than because their names urge them to? For example, people with names affiliated to poor families are much less likely to pass exams than the ones with fancy names, the statistics are very clear. According to this video, it would seem to be because their name pressured them to study less...

Your odds of matching all 3 names is not 1/3. Your odds are 1/6. Easy way is to list the sample space. We'll simplify by naming them A, B, and C and they have the professions of 1, 2, and 3 respectively. A1B2C3, A1C2B3, A2B1C3, A2B3C1, A3B1C2, A3B2C1. As we can see, only the first of the 6 options is correct. Mathematically this can be shown as 1/3 * 1/2 * 1/1 = 1/6. Basically the odds of matching the first name is 1/3 (A1-A2-A3). This leaves you with two possibilities B2C3 and B3C2, 1/2 of which are correct. If you choose B2 then you are guaranteed to choose C3 hence the 1/1.

Now if they could work any profession even if someone else already was, then our sample space would be dramatically larger and not worth listing here. Mathematically, it could be solved as 1/3 * 1/3 * 1/3 = 1/27. Each name having a 1/3 chance of randomly being paired correctly.

I feel like this can be attributed to name popularity in different areas of wealth/industry/etc.

Freakonomics anyone? Also, I do take some issue with your conclusions. It is possible that people of a certain socioeconomic class choose names specific to their socioeconomic class. With redistribution of people amongst socioeconomic classes not being 100%, you would have people with high socioeconomic status having certain names due to them having been born to high socioeconomic status and not their name giving them higher socioeconomic status.

Are people named Georgia REALLY more likely to move to Georgia, or are their parents just naming them after the state they were born in?

It makes sense. If you name your kid "Dinkledwarf McBumnugget" that kid will probably end up being a serial killer because every moment spent in school will be absolute torture that will breed a lifetime of resentment toward both authority (parents) and others. An extreme example surely, but it proves a point. Names have power over us because they literally identify and define us. We see other people with our names and society puts a subtle amount of pressure on us to live up to our namesake in those people. We also get treated differently because of our names. If the same woman sends in job applications with the names "Jennifer" and "Shaniqua" with everything else being the same, "Jennifer" will most likely get more consideration because "Shaniqua" has some negative connotations associated with it. It's like meeting someone named "Hitler". You know that kid is troubled.

This. Your name is chosen by your parents, so it's generally based on their social, geographical and cultural environment. For a quick example, someone named 'Charles' could be more likely to come from a more upper/middle class background than a 'Steven' and therefore have different opportunities. Not that either name represents any particular class, but the chances are the choice was made based on the parents' preferences. Therefore heavily influenced by the family background, which is totally out of the person's control, and nothing to do with societal expectations. In the end, it's an almost impossible theory to prove due to the amount of variables.

@lNFINlTEx

With the "Jennifer" and "Shaqifar" thing, it is not the names that have the power but the social circumstance that they imply. Honestly, it is hard to be convinced by this argument except in extreme cases like "Hitler". Even in those cases, you'd think the fact that their parents are insane would have something to do with how terrible their lives are. Between "Bob" and "Jack", it is terribly hard to attribute the differences to the name rather than the name to the social group of the parents.

granbulljan It’s more directly a cultural bias than a classist one, but it does cut into class culture. Homeless folk have a slightly different culture than the lower middle class, then the upper middle, and the top tier with more offshoots there. A name is partially dependent on where you start life. It can be a prophecy or future determined by where you begin.

Anyway Bob's name isn't "Bob" it's actually "Robert" (ie. he chooses to be called "Bob") and satistically people that got it right are more likely to comment/agree with you here, in a conversation that is sounding alot like the pseudo-scientific blood type superstition.

If people's names match the place they live in more often than could be attributed to chance, I would assume it is because parents often named their children after the place they were conceived or born or after the person that place was named after and those children stayed around their birthplace or returned to it later in life.

an "outie" could be that the initial surgery to make the naval an "innie" failed. I.e. a little hernia before the sutures have healed.To fix it later, unless the person is experiencing medical problems, insurance companies would likely consider it cosmetic surgery. And yes, pregnancy is also a huge cause of ".outies". Albeit temporary most often. Probably just as well that someone that has an "outie" is not on your radar. You seem kind of shallow.

Whether a belly button is innie or outie during pregnancy depends on if the baby is laying with its back to the front of the belly (forcing the navel out because the baby's spine is hard), or if the baby is laying differently (allowing the navel to sink in) The most common resting position for a navel during pregnancy is outie because the baby's head, spine, and sometimes even feet force it out, and in late trimesters it can be constantly like that. It'll usually go back in after the baby is born.
