Does a person's name automatically give you a positive or negative feeling?

Good question! I never really thought about it before.

it depends, only certain names and that is usually only when i have had a bad experience with someone with that name.........

Well think about some name as Dick, won't you think he's a horny guy?

I'm ashamed to say it, but I always think highly of people named Kate. I know a Kate, and I always imagine they're like her.

no, I'd think "wow he must've gotten a lot of crap about that in school"

Sometimes. Like in the Phantasm horror movies, the real name of the guy who plays the creepy old man is Angus Scrimm. That's a great name for a horror movie actor.

The name Sue has negative feelings for me because every Sue that I have known personally has been nucking futs.

Sometimes, I am afraid to say which ones just make me cringe, cause someone here may have that name. The name "Tammy" makes me happy, but I know one Tammy that sucks, but most people named Tammy are good. My name makes me happy, cause no one else really has this name (my real name).

I did the registration for a trade shows a few times, I came across this one name of a female Dr., Gay Lynn Dykeson, that is a name you would get a lot of crap for. Dumb parents. But then again, she may have picked that name for herself later in life.

He is really creepy looking isn't he? BooooY!!

No... unless it's a Kelly.

I associate the name "Jordan" with a bratty kid. Probably because I have babysat three boys(not all at once) named Jordan and they were all spoiled whinny brats.

Thanks for the comment about the name "Kate."

Occaisonally, but I try not to let it discourage me from not liking the person, but I do get bad vibes.

I will sometimes get a mental picture of someone based on their names, their voices, and even their comments on Survey Central. But I guess that isn't really what you asked. I guess I don't feel negative or positive about someone just based on their names.

I've got a lot to say about this but Im not sure how to say it so I wont. Yes.

You can't judge someone by their name

Not so far as I recall.

Why not?

Because of a run-in I had in high school, I can't handle the name Meredith. Then there was this woman Sunny who I interviewed with right out of college. I didn't take the job because I didn't think I could answer the phone, "Sunny *****'s office," with a straight face.

I hate to admit it but yes, people's names do have a tendency to fit them.

maybe not, but there are certain characteristics that seem to go with the name, like every Ben I've ever known was most certainly a Ben. People have a tendency to become their own adjectives.

If the have a harsh name like DAMIEN or some thing, like that

Popular names do, since I know someone with that name!

If I've known a really nice person by a name then the name gives me a positive feeling but if I knew a really awful person by that name then it gives me a negative feeling :) for instance I have known 2 Sebastion's and both were complete jerks. I have also known 2 Skye's and one was a dog the other was really nice.

I knew a really horrible person called kerry so whenever i hear that name i always think of her. i don't like the name very much.

I prefer getting to know people before making value assessments about them. I've had others discriminate against me based on my name, and it isn't fair.

Every guy I have met named Chris/Kris has turned out to be a real jerk, so I a little superstitious about it.

Certain names just remind me of other people I've known with that name. Specially if it's an uncommon name like "Tamara" or "Francesca". It's usually just a first impression though.

I dated a "Chris". He was the worst person I've ever known. He turned out to be a cheating, cross-dressing compulsive liar.

I know it's terrible to prejudge someone, especially based on his/her name, but I am guilty of it. What am I SUPPOSED to assume when I meet someone named Angel (ummm, stripper) or Billy Ray (ummm, redneck).

I remember one family when I was a kid and the whole bunch of them used to run around with snot all over their faces. It was gross! So, whenever I meet someone of the same name all I can think of is 'snot-nosed so-and-so'.

You're really on to something.I know somebody named Sue and she is definitely in another 'demention.'

My Sue is wonderful

OOps! My apologies, Twister.All Sues minus one are nucking futs.

I don't know her personally I am sure she is fabulous. From my experience though all the sues I have know were horid people.

if you know anyone else with that same name. u might think they are going to be the same way..

I have a tendancy to be trepidatious when it comes to guys named Charles or Chuck, Daniel *because of my ex and and 6ft tall transvestites named Big Mamma

I especially have problems with guys named Doug or Douglas, there all the same.

If the person has done something wrong or something good to someone close to me I will automatically have a feeling of like or dislike towards the person.

I don't judge anyone by their name....I have to get to know the person, but I do believe that first impressions linger longest....

There's something about "Ed" or "Eddie" -- just gives me the creeps... Sorry, Ed!

Yes, because I stereotype too much.
I wish I could stop doing that, because it's awful thing.
