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? |

I guess there are some names that give off impressions, usually if it's the name of someone well known or famous. Which is why you judge by name.
For example, names of former Presidents and/or leaders or scientists tend to make me think of them being old/smart/geek type. I.E. George, John (depends), Albert. Eh, maybe I'll have more ideas later. |
