What's in a name?

You don't mess with the Zoran!

... Sorry

My best friend is due to give birth to her first child in a few weeks, so recently I've been bombarded with links to baby name sites etc. I have noticed that quite a few sites have features on the relationship between a persons name and how successful they are in life...and certainly how they are treated by others...

For instance people with 'regal' sounding names like Elizabeth or Charles tend to be treated better by teachers than those with names like Xanya or Romeo...

Just wondering what your guys experiences of 'living with your name' were and whether you think you are greatly affected by your name in terms of how people perceive you without meeting you?

Do you make assumptions based on names?
