April 10, 2021, 12:07 — REGNUM If you don’t know how the world works, it seems full of simple miracles with a touch of archaism and the mind is carried away by ideas about the special significance of the date of birth, some kind of human design, belief in the influence of a name on fate or something anything else that doesn’t really work, but just creates a nice illusion of answers to questions. But it is worth starting to know how the world becomes amazing at some indescribably deep level that does not require fiction and artificial decoration.

Among the common misconceptions there are those that have real ground under them, which is simply overgrown with misunderstanding and weeds and fruits of magical thinking. One such example is the very first label that everyone receives in life – a personal name.
In addition to the name that I received at birth and for which my dad had to fight in the registry office, since by the will of fate I happened to be born in Belarus, my parents considered several more names for me: Esther, Ursula and Laura. I thought, how would I grow up if my name was different? Would I be different from who I am now? nine0003
It was these questions that prompted me to turn to the world of science to find out if the name we bear really affects us.
Choosing a name is an exciting period, full of reading, guessing, listening to your feelings. Many believe that the name affects fate, it can even change a whole life if it is changed, and they take the issue extremely seriously, subtracting semantic and numerological meanings so as not to accidentally reward themselves or the child with an “unlucky name”.
Let’s try to clear this thread of weed and talk about the real impact a name can have. Not about those illusions that are the result of a misunderstanding of the difference between “after” and “due to”, but about what actually exists. nine0003
Probably everyone at least once heard or thought something like “the name suits the face”. It seems that a rational brain wants to oppose such a stereotype, but still this itchy feeling “well, what kind of Penelope are you? You look like Barbara!” Nonsense? It seems so, but it seems…
In fact, the reason for such sensations lies in our psyche and in established stereotypes. Remember, there was such an experiment about Kiku and Booba? It was held more than once in different countries and showed that already from the age of 2, people in most cases associate the word “booba” with rounded shapes, and “kika” with angular ones. This is what they called the “booba-kiki” effect. Here is a story about names in many respects about the same thing.
Whether we like it or not, we associate different sounds with some forms more than with others. But in addition to this, there are such phenomena as social pressure and self-fulfilling prophecy, and they, surprisingly, also play a big role in why someone looks like Shoshi or Katerina, and someone like Oleg or David. nine0003
As children grow, social expectations take part in shaping their character and appearance. (Children in the Balearic Islands, 2018)

We all have a number of associations tied to names, and every society has its own long-established ideas of what a person with a particular name can look like, although in everyday life we don’t even think about it. Of course, most often the name for the child is chosen even before something is clear about the appearance, but when parents give the baby a name, they create a context for him, and from that moment on, the family and society gradually begin to influence the future personality.
Parents put into the name their certain, often culturally determined associations, often based on the “meaning of the name”, their expectations and thereby influence the features of the growing baby. nine0003
It is highly likely that others, often unconsciously, will treat the child in accordance with established ideas about the bearer of this name – as if the child already has certain characteristics. The child grows up and learns these patterns, involuntarily adjusting to the name that it bears. A person is drawn to the stereotypes of the name, which affects the choice of haircuts, hairstyles, even cravings for study or other entertainment. And this, in turn, affects facial expressions and facial expressions, which are involved in the formation of features. As a result, it turns out that external features are formed not only by genetics, the standard of living, past illnesses and plastic surgeries, but also by society (within reasonable limits). Yes, all Ophelias, Stanislavs or Zoyas will look different, but over time, most of them will merge so much with their name that it will sit on them like a native and almost literally be read.

Actually, these are not just the results of some personal observations – the world of science has dealt with this topic. Israeli and French scientists at one time conducted eight studies in two countries – in Israel and France, respectively. The results were published in February 2017 in the peer-reviewed journal Journal of Personality and Social Psychology in a 28-page article titled “We Look Like Our Names” – 0028 ).
On a large number of volunteers, the accuracy of the hit in determining the name from the photo was studied, and, it must be said, this hit was statistically significantly different from random guessing even if the name was chosen by the machine. Part of the research that was carried out on the computer was done to eliminate the human factor: if Max actually looks like Max, then this should be clear not only to a person. The computer analyzed more than 94,000 faces, providing additional evidence that our faces actually make it possible to guess our name and discard obviously inappropriate ones.

Of course, this only works for names that are used and familiar to the culture. That is, it will hardly be easy for a person from European culture to understand whether the name Anuradha or Samshita suits any Indian girl (although, of course, he will easily feel that the name Bella or Dasha definitely does not suit her). And of course, it will be difficult for almost any person to merge with a name that obviously refers to a completely different culture and linguistic environment, even if he was called that from birth. An African named Petya will create the feeling that something does not fit there. The same applies to Europeans who are called by some exotic name that contradicts their appearance, or who have chosen such a name for themselves. Although there are times when such a visual-sound contradiction becomes a kind of decor for a person’s business card. For example, there is such a fairly well-known performer and teacher of traditional Indian dances, whose name is Svetlana Tulasi .
Svetlana got her name from her Russian mother, and her last name and burning oriental appearance from her Indian dad. And looking at her, you don’t expect to hear such an ordinary Russian name.
Svetlana Tulasi
Of course, in the course of the research, scientists checked not only how well the Israelis guess the probable name for the Israelis and the French for the French, but also looked at the pattern of cross-cultural hit. The French were much worse at defining the name of the Israelis and vice versa. This curious phenomenon of the ability to “read” a name from appearance is called the Dorian Gray effect (not to be confused with Dorian Gray syndrome, which is characterized by body dysmorphophobia and narcissism and there are difficulties in accepting the aging process and an unhealthy concern for the preservation of one’s youth by any available means, including the abuse of plastic surgery, which is a mental disorder). nine0003
It seems to me that this effect actually extends a little beyond our interactions with each other.
For example, something similar can be seen in films where the images are very well thought out, high-quality casting is carried out, professional costume designers and make-up artists are hired, and the actors skillfully get used to the roles. Whoever plays the role of Sherlock Holmes will always fit into the name and the image associated with it: the name Sherlock no longer falls on a simple appearance with wide features with hemp and golden curls, and we could hardly perceive this hero himself with any – some other name. For example, like James Holmes – it would be a completely different character in other stories. And the famous Hercule Poirot? It seems that any other name on it would look extremely ridiculous. World cinema fills up our stereotypes, expanding cultural boundaries and making it easier to associate foreign names with one or another set of characteristics. nine0003

Probably we also choose names for our pets, taking into account their color, shape, appearance and breed, and they grow up to some extent in accordance with our expectations, although this is probably , has not been tested.
But it is well known that pets, like small children, are subject to the placebo effect, which means that our actions and expectations play a role for them.

Does the Dorian Gray effect manifest itself after a person changes their name? Apparently, yes. It just becomes noticeable most often not immediately, since it takes time – we do not change overnight. Of course, changes will be noticeable more quickly if the new name has a number of associations similar to the previous one.
In any society there is a certain percentage of people who at some point in their lives decide to change the name given to them by their parents. Some do it for religious reasons, others have not been able to feel their name, others want to turn the page after traumatic events, and someone is even convinced that they will become a different person. nine0003
A lot of people are rather conservative about such decisions of others, considering it unacceptable or strange.
It seems to some that the real name is exclusively the one that a person receives at birth, others think that changing a name is disrespectful to parents and an inappropriate whim, but there are those who consider changing a name something funny or unworthy, and there is even an opinion that it is mainly women who are subject to the craving for name changes, although in reality this is not at all the case. But no matter how society perceives this, the fact remains: in many countries, including Russia, a person has the freedom to change his name, enshrined in law, and most often this is a very simple process that does not require the subsequent change of all existing documents. nine0003
Many people who move permanently to another country will at some point change their first name (and sometimes their last name) to something that fits better with the local cultural environment, if the laws of the new country allow it. They certainly have detractors—often among those who have never drastically changed their place of residence—who consider such an act a strange attempt to fit in, to abandon themselves and pass for a local.
However, studies cited in the work of Israeli scientists show that the typicality of a name and how easy it is to pronounce and read can greatly affect a person’s ability to integrate and become professionally in demand. For example, as noted in the article, the same resume with the names of different nationalities receives a different number of invitations to interviews, and the names that are more typical of this culture are given priority. So a convenient-sounding name and surname can support their owner even in such a non-obvious way. nine0003
It often happens that it seems or literally catches the eye of others that a person who has changed his name has chosen an unsuitable one for himself. Especially when it is a rare, bright name with a clear, well-established stereotype, such as Aphrodite or Juliet. And, based on the above studies, we can conclude that the name really may not suit a person, not be associated with him, not sit on him. However, if he wears it with pleasure for many years, over time his appearance will adjust to a reasonable extent to the new name – thanks to a change in self-perception, a change in habits, mannerisms, hairstyles, facial expressions and, not least, thanks to the influence of a new set of stereotypes that society embellished this name.
nine0003
Of course, even a name that corresponds to the culture in which a person lives is far from being read in 100% of cases. Because there are names with intersecting stereotypes and there are people who have rare names, or they are simply much less influenced by society. And because there are those who never fell in love with the combination of sounds that their parents endowed, could not accept this name and its “baggage”, but have not yet decided to change. And this is also true for those who changed their name a long time ago and, although they wear it with pleasure, they still could not “absorb” it into themselves, and habits, behavior, facial expressions, craving for a certain haircut or hair color – they remained the same and even after a whole decade, the old name is still clearly visible in their faces. Not every Glasha is able to actually become Anastasia. nine0003

their side, directly showing how strongly the name of a person can get used to his features and how important a careful approach to choosing a name for a child or yourself can be.
Of course, there is no magic in this, and the name does not predetermine the fate of a person. Lucifer will not take the path of the ruler of the world, and Chloe will not necessarily join the Green Party in order to protect nature. Like everything related to the real world, our life path is formed gradually and in a much more complex way. However, thanks to the cunning of our brain, a fragrant flower will smell less sweet if it is called a sausage. nine0003

Addressing a person by name is the easiest and most effective way to improve your relationship with them. Knowing a name is the first step to building good relationships with people.
Addressing the interlocutor by name satisfies his psychological needs for recognition and respect, and also reduces the level of anxiety.
The name expresses the individuality of a person. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that a person has the right to a name from the moment of birth.
A big mistake is the violation of this right in communication. When children give each other nicknames or address each other on some basis (“red”, “long”, etc.), they often protest against such treatment with the words: “I actually have a name !!!” nine0003
Calling by name is pleasant not only to the person addressed, but also to the one who calls the interlocutor by name. When we know the name of a person or all the people in an organization, it adds confidence and reduces stress.
It is recommended to give the name of the interlocutor not only in direct, oral communication, but also when exchanging messages through instant messengers and social networks.
In business communication, it is considered normal to give your name and ask the interlocutor to introduce himself when meeting. If you don’t hear the name, it’s perfectly acceptable and even necessary to ask for it again. And if the name is rare, then you can clarify how it is spelled. It makes getting to know, remembering and naming a name a business card very easy.
In some countries, the use of business cards is widespread. In Russia, many people do not have them. Although the cost of a standard batch of business cards in a printing house (1,000 pieces) is quite low: it is about the same as the monthly subscription fee for mobile communications or the Internet. nine0003
Dale Carnegie said that one of the six ways to win over people is to apply the rule:
remember that for a person the sound of his name is the sweetest and most important sound of human speech .
He believed that many famous people became successful due to the conscious memorization and use of the names of interlocutors in communication.
Tony Shay introduced an interesting practice at Zappos:
Most companies require a username and password when logging in. Zappos has another milestone to overcome: a randomly selected photo of one of the employees is displayed on the screen, and the user is asked to name him by choosing the correct last name from several options.
After that, you can see the resume and biography of the person; in this way, employees of the company learn more about each other. Although no one is punished for a wrong answer, we keep score in this game. Among ourselves, we call it “Faces”. nine0028

Ron Clark, in several of his rules, required students to address people by their first names.
Rule 23. Quickly learn the names of all the teachers in the school and greet them by saying, for example, “Good morning, Mr. Graham” or “Good afternoon, Mrs. Ortiz. What a beautiful dress.”
Rule 29 W. When a waiter introduces himself to you, remember his name. Address him always by name throughout the meal. nine0028
Rule 33 When we visit different places, we meet different people. When I introduce you to people, make sure you remember their names. As we leave, shake hands with these people and thank them by name.
Moreover, Ron Clark demanded to know and apply not only the names of teachers, but also technical workers (cooks, porters, watchmen, cleaners). In order for the children to cope with this task, Ron Clark handed out booklets with photos and names of all school employees, and organized role-playing games with the names and photos of the staff of the educational organization. nine0003
This rule improves the relationship of students with school staff, makes children more pleasant in the eyes of the staff. On the other hand, it allows children to feel at school at home, calm and confident.

Ron Clark Academy teaches children from grades 5 to 8. At the end of each school year, all students and staff must pass a test on the knowledge of the names and surnames of the fifth graders who entered the school. Staff must know the names of all parents of students. nine0003
Ron Clark places a lot of importance on knowing each other’s names because it ties in with another rule: “We are a family.” Everyone in the family knows each other’s names. One fifth-grader, after the first day at school, where all the staff and students knew her first and last name, and pronounced them correctly when addressing her, said to her mother: “I have a feeling that I died and ended up in a school paradise.”
Of course, remembering hundreds or thousands of names is quite difficult. Ron Clark once got into a very awkward situation. At the autumn ball, he saw the father of an unsuccessful student. Ron Clark came up to him, hugged him and addressed him in his own style:
– It’s important for me to tell you that I love Cindy. I think she is a very well-mannered and special girl, but her academic achievements are low. She doesn’t keep a reading diary, she didn’t do her homework twice this week, she doesn’t do well in all subjects except physical education. This requires all of us, everyone, to join forces and help Cindy succeed in her studies.
Father looked at me and said:
– Wow, Mr. Clark, I’m really worried about Cindy’s situation, and I’ll do everything to help her, but I’m Will’s father. nine0028
Google Contacts allows you to save any information about a person.
To remember the names of a large number of people, it is better to use modern technology. Google, Microsoft and Apple offer their users the “Contacts” service. This is a convenient tool for recording the last name, first name and patronymic of all your friends. Also in these services you can specify additional information about people: phone number, email address, date of birth, place of work and position, photo, family ties, home and work address, circumstances of acquaintance and any significant information. With the help of a smartphone, you can always remember the name of a person and use it in communication. nine0003
Separately, it is worth noting the Microsoft Outlook program, which has a “Contacts” section, which provides ample opportunities for managing information about people. Detailed recommendations for working with this program can be found in Gleb Arkhangelsky’s book “Formula of Time. Time Management in Outlook 2013”.
Social networks can also be of great help here. Add me as a friend on Vkontakte and it will be easier for you to remember my name when you meet.
In group classes, the use of the “Snowball” game is popular. One of the participants says his name; the next in the circle repeats the name of the previous participant and after that calls his own; the next one repeats the names of the two previous participants, and then his own; the last participant repeats the names of all members of the group and introduces himself. It’s fun, interesting, and helps you remember the names of the group members faster. You can complicate this game by saying not only your name, but also, for example, your favorite fruit.
