The face-name effect ? the fact that we recognise the first name of someone we don't know beyond chance level ? does have its limits. These limits further illustrate the self-fulfilling mechanism behind it.

?Prior research has shown there are cultural stereotypes attached to names, including how someone should look. For instance, people are more likely to imagine a person named Bob to have a rounder face than a person named Tim. We believe these stereotypes can, over time, affect people's facial appearance.?

It turns out our faces CHANGE depending on our names, allowing strangers to guess what we might be called! WEIRD but true... New scientific research has found that we subconsciously act like our names and the stereotypes associated with them. Apparently, our names can even affect how we act!

California. California's nickname is "The Golden State" because of both its long history with the Gold Rush and the presence of golden poppy flowers in the spring.

It is all to do with the sounds of the name. For example, people with sharp or angular faces suit sharper sounding names with stronger consonant sounds, such as Katie. Round faces are paired well with round sounding names, which require the mouth to form a circle when saying them, such as Rob.

Face-name recognition is a form of paired associates, episodic memory. This type of memory is fairly difficult, even for cognitively normal people (and the ability often declines substantially with age), and thus a poor performance on a face-name task is not typically considered pathologic.

The hypothesis is that name stereotypes can be manifested in facial appearance, producing a face-name matching effect, whereby both a social perceiver and a computer are able to accurately match a person's name to his or her face.
