Does someone's name taint your perspective of them?, ...or not?

Many times, I judge people by their names (I know it's horrible) but I can't help it. For example, my very angry and rude ex named Matt has made me think of Matt as a name for angry, rude people.

And this incredibly (sometimes annoyingly) smart girl in my Chem class is named Elizabeth, and I connect the name 'Elizabeth' or 'Beth' to smart people.

So, how do people's names affect you?

Yes, unfortunately. I associate names with people I know... but once I get to know that person this association is not significant at all. It's only a factor that contributes to first impressions for me, I guess.
