Does your name alter your lot in life?
According to a new study referenced in a BBC article, yes.
“We have strong perceptions about first names and associate them with success, luck and attractiveness, according to new research. And our perceptions can have very real consequences in everyday life.”
I find it quite fascinating, and I would certain believe such a statement. I know that I often associate names with stereotypes and this quite possibly has an effect on the decisions I make therefore influencing someone else’s life and changing their future.
I’d be quite interested to know where my name comes on the list 
(not that it would change anything though!)
