What's In A Name?
What’s in a Name? Initials Linked to Success?
Psychological Science - Do you like your name and initials? Most people do and, as past research has shown, sometimes we like them enough to influence other important behaviors. For example, Jack is more likely to move to Jacksonville and marry Jackie than is Philip who is more likely to move to Philadelphia and marry Phyllis. Scientists call this phenomenon the “name-letter effect” and argue that it is influential enough to encourage the pursuit of name-resembling life outcomes and partners.
I would love to see a study on Internet/Message Board screen names people choose. Here at DVR Chatter members mostly use our own name, Frank, Joe, WarEagle... that is his real name isn't it?

Re: What's In A Name?
I am constantly amazed at the "research" that's done on some of the stupidest topics. My name is Joe, I'm from Alabama, (Jalabama?) and I am anything but an average guy.
