if you weren't named what you were... Options

would you be the same person you are now?

You've been going by your name, or a variation of your name, for your entire life. If you were called Frank or Gertrude your entire life... do you think you'd end up any differently than how you are now?

i'd totally be a different person. while growing up, i got a lot of attention from teachers, deans, counselors, instructors, professors, etc due to my name, both first and last. it's what made them remember who i am for the most part. i also think it's the reason why i get callbacks for interviews. just my name on the resume is already an attention getter. i don't know if i'd be better or worse off, but i'd definitely be different.
