When you give your name, do you ever wonder if the other person already has preconceived ideas associated with your name?
How much influence do you think a person’s name has over them?

Do you know what the word is for the study of names?
Spoiler.
The study of names is called onomastics or onomatology.

...I mean, some people are given unfortunate names by their parents, but I've never really thought any less of a person for that.

I suppose it's possible people who are given legacy names feel themselves being compared to whomever they're named after.
