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? |

Unfortunately, yes. I always think of a previous person I've known with that name if I have known someone with that name before...usually that impression fades, but it can tend to stick for a little while at least.

(Nothing to do with the quote)... but I associate the name 'Steph' with kind people because of you :D |
