Not only generations, but also socio-economic status and geography. Even amongst stereotypically ‘White’ names, derived from Britain, you are going to get weak correlations with the background of the parents. Richards may have slightly richer parents on average than Jacks, or more likely to come from one place or another. Richer people and people from different places look subtly different in most contexts. The effect wouldn’t be huge, but we meet and attach so much significance to names it would likely unconsciously effect our guesses.

Mycel My Post had NOTHING to do with heroin. I was citing an ACTUAL TV AD for a certain make and model of automobile. I hate having to explain punch lines, but for you: the older child learned that she was named after the CITY in which her parents (a “normal” married couple, as far as we know) conceived her. But her baby SISTER was named for the kind of CAR in which ... they may have been re-enacting their high school memories. NOW do you get it? Oh, I just noticed you were responding to my EARLIER post. The song “Sweet Georgia Brown” is normally assumed to refer to a woman the singer admired. If there was any drug reference, it was so well hidden that, after the Harlem Globetrotters used it as background music for their basketball shows, it has become identified in mainstream media with basketball. In the 1970s, Mel Brooks and his wife Anne Bancroft produced, directed, and starred in a remake of Jack Benny’s wartime dark humor movie “To Be or Not to Be,” about a Vaudeville theater in Warsaw whose owners run a scam on the Nazi occupiers, including Benny’s/Brooks’ character impersonating Hitler, to get a Free Polish pilot, their theater staff (Jews, Poles, and at least one gay man), and themselves to freedom. The Brooks version of the movie begins with the couple on stage, singing and dancing, and the song is Sweet Georgia Brown, IN POLISH! Nothing in there about drugs!

They are probably both major factors

What's probably still a minor factor? Because people will move to cities with their own name, or because parents naming their children are more likely to name them after the place that they are in?

People moving to cities with their own name would still be a minor factor. It just think that parents naming their children after the place they live is a greater factor :)

Daniel Bolstad well, in the sense that ghetto names from the hood aren't going to impress anybody in proper society, yes.

You say that like it somehow invalidates the concept. Parents who want their children to rise above their socioeconomic class will often give them names that they feel will help them do so. And it often works. Most likely self-fulfilling prophecy is the most salient explanation for the phenomenon, but culture does play into it too.

Absolutely.

TheVideoGamingChannel Same. I reckon we thought the same thing, Jacks are more western, or wild. Bobs are the commoners. Like average Joe or average Bob. Richards are more.... rich. That guy was wearing a suit.

Yeah, I mixed those two up as well, seemingly for the same reason. Though I hesitated a bit afterward, and thought I might have. Maybe I'd have thought differently if I'd been asked who was "Robert" and who was "Rick" or "Dick".

TheVideoGamingChannel i got them all right,jack wasn't that clear but richard and bob looked sooo richard and bob if that makes sense lol

TheVideoGamingChannel yea i thought bob looked more bobbish but i said richard because richard’s are generally more successful

Same.

Or? Why the or? Why not and?

Don't sell yourself short. You can do them all!!

You can also run for US president as a senator from Texas who’s mistaken for the zodiac killer

I also think with the places with your name thing, it's can also be parents naming their kids Louis because they live in St. Louis, also making it disproportionate.

Good point, but the video talks about how your name influences you regardless of what life you are born into. If your parents are professors but they, for some reason, give you the name "Adolf Hitler" then you are quite likely to have a difficult time regardless of your social status at birth. At the same time, if you are born to a poor family but your name is William. You are more likely (than most other names) to outgrow your poor status. And finally, not all names are equal on a global scale. If your name is Herschel and you are born in Syria then you are quite likely to be or have been beheaded.

U lucky Basterd...

@@familyfun5301 yeah, my life is also destined to be hated by Squidward

George Meadway you’re getting it wrong, the name of the channel is also a self-fulfilling prophecy, turning out that is not as interesting as it should be.

The boring answer is that it's probably a little bit of both. I also thought this video was a little short.

It makes sense. If you name your kid "Dinkledwarf McBumnugget" that kid will probably end up being a serial killer because every moment spent in school will be absolute torture that will breed a lifetime of resentment toward both authority (parents) and others. An extreme example surely, but it proves a point. Names have power over us because they literally identify and define us. We see other people with our names and society puts a subtle amount of pressure on us to live up to our namesake in those people. We also get treated differently because of our names. If the same woman sends in job applications with the names "Jennifer" and "Shaniqua" with everything else being the same, "Jennifer" will most likely get more consideration because "Shaniqua" has some negative connotations associated with it. It's like meeting someone named "Hitler". You know that kid is troubled.

This. Your name is chosen by your parents, so it's generally based on their social, geographical and cultural environment. For a quick example, someone named 'Charles' could be more likely to come from a more upper/middle class background than a 'Steven' and therefore have different opportunities. Not that either name represents any particular class, but the chances are the choice was made based on the parents' preferences. Therefore heavily influenced by the family background, which is totally out of the person's control, and nothing to do with societal expectations. In the end, it's an almost impossible theory to prove due to the amount of variables.

With the "Jennifer" and "Shaqifar" thing, it is not the names that have the power but the social circumstance that they imply. Honestly, it is hard to be convinced by this argument except in extreme cases like "Hitler". Even in those cases, you'd think the fact that their parents are insane would have something to do with how terrible their lives are. Between "Bob" and "Jack", it is terribly hard to attribute the differences to the name rather than the name to the social group of the parents.

granbulljan It’s more directly a cultural bias than a classist one, but it does cut into class culture. Homeless folk have a slightly different culture than the lower middle class, then the upper middle, and the top tier with more offshoots there. A name is partially dependent on where you start life. It can be a prophecy or future determined by where you begin.

Got them all correct too. I thought Bob sounded like some car salesman smile, Richard was a more aristocratic heritage, and Jack more free spirit artist/adventurer. Sometimes I feel a dissonance if the name and face doesn't match.

I got Bob right. The other two, I didn't even guess.

Anyway Bob's name isn't "Bob" it's actually "Robert" (ie. he chooses to be called "Bob") and satistically people that got it right are more likely to comment/agree with you here, in a conversation that is sounding alot like the pseudo-scientific blood type superstition.

I think that in pregnancy a lot of women's belly buttons turn into outies, they're not always like that at first.

an "outie" could be that the initial surgery to make the naval an "innie" failed. I.e. a little hernia before the sutures have healed.To fix it later, unless the person is experiencing medical problems, insurance companies would likely consider it cosmetic surgery. And yes, pregnancy is also a huge cause of ".outies". Albeit temporary most often. Probably just as well that someone that has an "outie" is not on your radar. You seem kind of shallow.

@@diana3599 some people can't stand the sight of blood, some people can't stand looking at spiders, some people can't stand outies, some people can't stand r/slash Karens

Whether a belly button is innie or outie during pregnancy depends on if the baby is laying with its back to the front of the belly (forcing the navel out because the baby's spine is hard), or if the baby is laying differently (allowing the navel to sink in) The most common resting position for a navel during pregnancy is outie because the baby's head, spine, and sometimes even feet force it out, and in late trimesters it can be constantly like that. It'll usually go back in after the baby is born.

Well, my feelings are hurt.
