Stereotypes By Name

[ffynnon]

Disclaimer: I really don't want people to be offended by this topic--I DO realize that not all people with a certain name act the same etc--this is just about personal experiences...

 

With that said, do you find certain names tend to go with certain types of people? As an example: Every "Jack" I've met has a screw or two loose. For every 10 "Jeffs" I meet, 8 are egomaniacs.

 

"Cindy's" seem to be pretty wild. I've never met a "Margo" I didn't get along with. Etc.

 

Your experiences?

[Gryph]

I don't know that many people with the same names. I once had two friends named Matt but they were different.

 

That's about it...

 

 

Well all people named Rasputin are evil.

[ffynnon]

Hmmmm. I work with no less than 6 "jasons" and 3 "Chris's". They're diverse enough that they don't share much in common though.

 

EDIT: You're probably right about Rasputin!

Nope, they seem diverse enough -- or common enough for a typical human.

[Weirdy]

ummm...well..

 

every guy around here with the nickname "chato" is a cholotype....so....nothing new down here

[OverlordMondo]

I've found that everyone with a name happens to be a complete idiot.

Maybe that's just here...

 

NOTE: By here I mean, physically here, not the board.

Can't really think of anyone - I used to know a female called 'lindsay' and a male called 'lindsey' and they were both into punk music, but that's about it

I don't know any stereotypes by name. This country is so out there.
