Does your name affect how you act? [CLOSED]

I don't know, and I doubt it does. But I feel like it does.

Talking about real names, not usernames.
My name "Michael" I think suits me well, I imagine if I was named something different, I would act different. For some reason, when I see other people, their name seems to register in my head with their personality, even if someone says they don't like their name, it usually always seems like it fits to me.

Do you think names affect how people act? Do you like your name?


Don't know what to expect from a serious topic in S&N.

My name means princess, but I don't think that fits me? Idk, you'd have to ask someone who knows me well. I suppose just the name suits me, since I'm so used to it I can't think of what else would look good on me lol I do sometimes wish I had a different name though, 'cause there are a ton of Sarahs and having a less common name would be cool. My last name makes up for that though, so eh.

Not really. I mean, it can cause me to kinda get annoyed with others who spell it wrong, but other then that no.

Apparently my name means "to tame" like wtf. I was known as the wild child and I'm supposed to tame something??? Also many think my name is evil and demonic so that suits me pretty well.

I never thought much of it. My name means "bearing Christ" and I can't really see myself with a different name (though I was supposedly almost named Michael?).

Urban dictionary

"A cool name that has nothing to do with the devils son.
You hear me you fruity religion obsessed **** bags.
I saw some guy kicked out of a church.
I went to help him and he said his name was Damian
I befriended him and now nuns chase me with torches every sunday.

I just looked mine up.
Well well well, looks like they actually got something right.

Urban Dictionary says:
"A very cool guy who makes everyone laugh. Once you meet him, you will want to be his friend right away. He is super cute and very good-looking. He has amazing taste...in music, clothes, food, everything. Every girl secretly wishes that he could be her boyfriend...mainly because he recently broke up with his girlfriend...mainly because everyone knows that he likes commitment...mainly because he is sweet and knows how to treat a girl...mainly because however strange and wierd he may be, he's perfect. In his own little way, he is perfect.
Michael a very cool person."

idk about my name but I see what you mean. I believe it's just general association and stuff, like a cringe when I see/hear the name Bea because a person I've had bad experiences with has that name.

but here's the Urban Dictionary profile about my name:

Quote:
Erica
name origin is: Scandinavian
name meaning: honorable ruler.

1. Erica is loyal, sometimes to her own detriment. She is dependable, social and friendly, a tower of strength in a crises.
most Erica's are of short to average height, they are usually nice to look at ranging from cute to beautiful.
"Erica will always be there when you need her"


thanks snowkitty01 for writing a profile for it because it was most likely your name

I guess it's just past experiences and pre concieved ideas on people that make you think someone with a particular name acts a certain way, and it's just coincidence of they do.

I swear, some people with some names act the same way you'd expect them too. Most people I know act the way I'd expect them too because of their names, but maybe I'm just thinking a little too hard.

Brittany's are very attractive, popular, and have good hearts. Everyone wishes to be as cool as the Brittany's and are jealous when they can't compare.
Brittanys can be insecure but they shouldn't be, people try to bring them down but Brittanys will always end up winning...they need to realize how wonderful they are. Guys are intimidated to ask them out just because Brittanys are so unique and awesome.

I think its just the person, I don't believe in the Urban Dictionary definitions on names, it's just a coincidence like horoscopes if it actually applies to you. Whatever you're named imo is what you're named and I really don't think it affects your personality.

#24 Posted: 04:14:23 08/10/2015
Ahem:

The name of Will creates a very passive, easy-going, friendly nature. You love people and desire to get along with everyone you meet. Your desire for sociability and the pleasant things in life is a trait that makes you too easily influenced through your associations. You have imagination and many ideas but you lack the drive or initiative to put these into effect. It is difficult for you to say "no" and mean it or to carry through with any commitments you have made. This name makes you too lackadaisical. Due to procrastination you have many unfulfilled desires. It is not a constructive name, as it lacks practicality, system and order, organizing ability, astuteness, and the ability to make decisions and act upon them. You often lean upon the strength of those around you for guidance. You appreciate the finer things in life such as nice clothes, pleasant surroundings, and friendly companions. You find it difficult to tolerate circumstances that are not up to your particular standards. This name makes you fond of pastries, candies, or any of the foods that are particularly satisfying to the taste. The physical weakness created by this name affects the fluid functions of the body causing such ailments as weak kidneys, over-stoutness, or an imbalance of water in the blood.

Oh dear god.

these names are ruined for me in a similar fashion:

"elijah" -WORST OF THE WORST, 0/10 NO ONE NAMED ELIJAH HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING GOOD
"jessica" -they'll all break your heart then actively try to ruin your life
"angie" -usually pretentious jerk who exploits your weaknesses for her personal gain
"susanna" -will pretend to be your friend but would throw you under a bus in a heartbeat

From the English word heather for the variety of small shrubs with pink or white flowers which commonly grow in rocky areas. It is derived from Middle English hather. It was first used as a given name in the late 19th century, though it did not become popular until the last half of the 20th century.

*didn't use urban dictionary because it didn't have the actual meaning of my name*

I like my name (Alicia). Its not too feminine, so it suits me since I'm a bit of a tomboy. It actually sounds pretty cool now that I think about it. I just wish it wasn't a common name though. I mean I know its not as common as Jessica or Amy but its still pretty up there.

It also annoys me how a lot of people pronounce it as A-lee-see-a at first when that's not how you pronounce it (for me anyway).

I dunno, other people will have to be the judge of this. My mother got it for me in a souvenir shop, in case anyone wonders why I have that.

First thing that comes up on a Google search:

Quote:
The name Aaron is a Hebrew baby name. In Hebrew the meaning of the name Aaron is: Lofty; exalted; high mountain. Biblically, Aaron was Moses' older brother (and keeper by God's command). He was first high priest of the Israelites, remembered for the miraculous blossoming of his staff or rod.


First three results on urban dictionary:

Quote:
In India "Aaron" is a slang word for pimp.

That why they call him Aaron, and you Homo.


Quote:
Awesome, plain and simple. Considered by most to be almost godly in nature his dick is massive and his ability to pleasure women is legendary though only a few have experienced this righteous act of manlyness. They are known to be intellectual and breathtakingly handsome although shy at a first encounter. He has been hurt but due to his stubbornness he doesn't allow it to happen again. There was and will be only one. So don't **** with an Aaron, ever, and make sure you don't misspell this work of arts name wrong, like Erin. That would be hazardous to your health.


Quote:
The name that really means "My parents were too lazy to look past the first name in the book"... or, just a really cool guy in general. Best name ever.
Aaron: Hey, my parents were too lazy to actually look past the first name in the book


That first one is false, I'm pretty sure.

That second one makes me sound like a Gary Stu anime protagonist or something.

The third one is probably the actual reason why I have the name.

This is a lie D;>
I'm no god, though it may explain some of why I'm so ****ed up smilie

Daniel

This is a difficult name to define because it defies many boundaries of human perception, let alone various languages. One of the closest translations that experts give is God or many other variations of that general idea.
Other definitions are thought to be:
Tao
Chi
The Great Spirit
Chuck Norris
Energy
Infinity
Sublime
ect
Despite the fact that various names have been pinned to Daniel, its seems that all of the above examples (including that of God)cannot even withstand the magnitude of Daniel.
The reason this name continues to elude even the brightest of human minds is that the idea of Daniel cannot possibly exist in a dimensional state. Daniel is so powerful, it defies all laws of this or any other universe. Recent studies have shown that people who have attempted to comprehend this name have either disappeared, died spontaneously, or driven themselves into a pertinent state of insanity and/or catatonia. One common belief is that Daniel is possibly the grounds on which everything and nothing is based. It seems to surpass the idea of infinity. Quantum physicists report that this Daniel is Everything and Nothing. It or He is said to have unexplainable connections with the String and Superstring Theories as Daniel resonates within every single layer of the multi-dimensional complex and yet still exists beyond that point which is where scientists have lost the trail. Various theologists and spiritual leaders believe that Daniel is one who is, as they say, "The Answer". All attempts to understand this idea of Daniel have failed.

Daniel. Nothing else can describe him.
