Help[Facts] Re: Given Names and Nicknames
in reply to a message by Britkitten
The only thing I've seen on the Net is the very questionable Canadian "Kabalarian" site, which contains HUGE and exhaustive lists of submitted names (yes, Nan, even "Daividh") and purports to analyze your personality and character traits from your name. Type that "K" word into any search engine and you'll find the site easily.
Trouble is, it's completely formulaic, and even a submission of "Yo'Momma" as a name would ultimately yield an analysis (they add submitted names and profiles only periodically). Totally bogus!
Undoubtedly some names affect self-image and ultimately personality, if not character. Just name your kid "Bertha" or "Hubert" and watch what happens. Studies HAVE been done that show that kids with dorkus names are discriminated against by teachers (grade-wise) as well as by kids.
