Believe it or Not:
People with desirable or attractive names are treated more favorably by others than are those with undesirable or unattractive names. Also, persons with undesirable or unattractive names tend to be handicapped in their personal, social, and work-related activities. Accordingly, parents should be careful about the impressions that will be generated by the names they select for their children.
Common Mistake:
When you rate a name, do not think of a specific person you know who has
that name. Instead, imagine that you are about to meet a person for the first
time (someone introduced by a friend, maybe a blind date, or a new coworker or
a new roommate). Imagine that you have not yet met the person and all you know
about them is their name and their gender. Knowing only the name and gender of
this individual, how do you picture the person and how would you describe this
person on each of the four characteristics?
What is important to you in the name you are about to choose?
ETHICAL Name: trustworthy, loyal, sincere, kind, generous, honest,
respectful, caring, polite, patient, warm, moral, obedient, sensitive,
responsible, religious, loving, congenial.
FUN Name: playful, humorous, popular, cheerful, outgoing, good-looking,
adventurous, friendly, athletic, healthy, curious.
SUCCESSFUL Name: successful, ambitious, intelligent, independent, confident,
assertive, creative.
masculine Name: the opposite of feminine, shows how boyish or girlish a person is.
Surveys show that Short masculine or femininee names are the most common factors for choosing a name over the last 5 years. This is regardless of the name meaning. Meaning does not seem to matter much lately. Finally, Popular Names & Top Names seem to have a higher priority too. People seem to avoid naming their babies unique names and tend to find a popular feminine or masculine name instead.
Considering the analysis above: Are you willing to go with the crowd or find a unique name for your baby?
