Names are the first introduction to a person, and they deserve a bit of time for exploration and clarity. The What's in a Name project has students investigating the etymology of their names, the reason why it was chosen for them, it's meaning to them and, if they chose, any alternative name the student would select.

We name to identify, symbolize, refer, describe, simplify, organize and, most importantly, to tame. Through the act of naming, we make ties and emotional bonds with people and things.

If your name is common, you are more likely to be hired. People with common names were more likely to be hired, and those with rare names were least likely to be hired. That means that the Jameses, Marys, Johns, and Patricias of the world are in luck.

We don't choose the names we carry, but they have an immense and often hidden effect on our lives. Do names matter? To a remarkable degree, they do. Though we don't choose them, our names are badges bearing information about our class, education level, and ethnic origin — or at least those of our parents.

Our names are an incredibly important part of our identity. They carry deep personal, cultural, familial, and historical connections. They also give us a sense of who we are, the communities in which we belong, and our place in the world.

The Meditative Associative Name Analysis (MANA) is a procedure for the orienting assessment of a person's personality, his weaknesses, and strengths. The method is based on the initially strange insight that people's names influence them. These processes take place in the subconscious.

In addition to appearance, our names are associated with our personality, character, the way we act and our psychological adjustment. As far back as 1948, studies indicated that the names we are given affect how we perform later in life.

Research shows that people hold stereotypes about others based on their names. Names can reveal cultural values and cultural shifts, research suggests. Our names may also influence our personality. Names may also influence important life decisions although this claim is more controversial.
